I have to say that the list ranking the RRHOF people did not help me much. I went down the list and saw how everyone died. I'd forgotten a lot of that. Jackie Wilson had a heart attack on stage because he was being an idiot. He took salt pills before the show so that he could sweat more on stage because the ladies love that. First of all, it's disgusting. I don't understand it when people want Lindsey's sweaty towel.

Anyway, Jackie Wilson had a heart attack on stage. He suffered brain damage because he went for a prolonged time without oxygen to his brain. That made me wonder about Lindsey. Luckily, the one picture we have with Kristen was encouraging because Lindsey looked weak, but he looked alert and aware. If his brain is ok, we only really have to worry about his voice. I think the heart recovery will be slow but sure.
