[Slowhand] Health conscious

[jersey shore]

This is an unusual post, and will likely invite new conversation, but is 
relevant and a matter of some concern.
   I was reading chapters in a book about heart disease written by one of 
this country's most respected and well known cardiologists when I came upon 
something that caught my attention. The book was describing the warning 
signs for damage and blockages to the arteries which typically lead to heart 
disease. One of the clearest indicators for "arterial aging" is a distinct 
crease line in the earlobe. I realized that this is very consistent with 
people in my own family with substantial heart disease; the people who have 
had serious trouble all have these lines. I also remembered that a while 
back, I heard another cardiologist being interviewed on television saying 
something about this.
    The reason I make mention of this is that in the Robert Johnson DVD, you 
can see in the close-ups that our Eric has these tell-tale crease marks. I'd 
like to assume that he has the best in medical professionals at his disposal 
and that equally important, he checks in with them regularly. He's had a 
life in the past rich in excess, and other than stage performing, I've never 
heard any mention of him exercising. I really hope his health is well 
monitored. It's easy to assume it is, but heart attacks happen to even those 
with the best doctors around. Let us hope that he's very mindful of his 
health and pays close attention to any warning signs such as this.
