Nice job, Juli! I’m not familiar with the Dolly Parton song, but as soon as I saw the headline, I hoped you would have the other four songs – and there they were!

Nice job, Juli!

From the first time, I heard "The Rubber Room" I never know what to think of it. Definitely not many songs like that. It would never be played today.

I respect anyone who steps up to get help, instead of letting themselves get caught up in a dangrous spiral. Rick,

Here's the story: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/entertainment&id=7761553 So she has an eating disorder and likes to cut herself in addition to anger control issues eh? I mean how could Joe Jonas have broken up with a gal like that? Then after the break up she stays on the Jonas Brothers tour! Demi really is a glutton for punishment... PS - The country artist who should be writing the best songs of this nature is Mindy McCready!

He adds a whole new dimension to the song. He should've been nominated for a Grammy for his work. The other song that springs to my mind is Diamond Rio's "It's All In Your Head" from their IV album. It was quite the departure for them at the time and the video (complete with Martin Sheen as the preacher) raised many an eyebrow, but the song is the best current example of the theme in commercial country music. "It's All In Your Head" may not have been strictly written about an insane person, but after the video, that's the angle everyone will take on the song.

"It's not your normal institution, just a run down bar in Houston..." Thanks, Juli. A song where the bar serves as a sanitarium is “We’re all here,” that Doug Supernaw recorded.
