Carlos Santana is recovering after collapsing during a performance last night. Doctors say the 74-year-old guitarist was overcome by heat exhaustion and dehydration when he collapsed about an hour into the show at the Pine Knob Music Theater near Detroit. Medical staff attended to the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer before he was carried offstage. Santana's manager said he was taken to an emergency room for observation and was "doing well."
A woman has claimed a Guinness World Record for working non-stop as an airline flight attendant. Bette Nash got her start in the skies as a flight attendant in 1957 for Eastern Airlines. Today, 65 years later, she still flies, working for American Airlines. And, at 86 years old, Nash is also the oldest flight attendant. The job has changed a bit over the years, Nash says she's glad she no longer has to meet the weight requirements airlines used to put in place.
