Answer 1

This year marked the twenty-seventh year of the annual Chicago Blues Festival. As in previous years, the music festival took place in Chicago’s Grant Park. Performers, young and old, shared their variations on the blues with large audiences against a backdrop of skyscrapers. Multiple stages were set up throughout the park, in addition to a large selection of food and beverage vendors.
As this year would have been the 100th birthday of blues legend Howlin’ Wolf, the festival was dedicated to him. Though Howlin’ Wolf was originally from Mississippi, his recording career was spent in Chicago. Alongside other legends such as Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and Sonny Boy Williamson, Wolf is credited with developing the unique blues style that came to be known as Chicago Blues.
Attendees were able to hear cover versions of Wolf’s songs and witness performances from many of Wolf’s former band mates. During the main stage performance on Friday night, Hubert Sumlin, a guitarist who played with Wolf for many years, sang the classic “Sittin’ on Top of the World.”
The Chicago Blues Festival is just one of the many annual music festivals that take place in Chicago. Other festivals include the Chicago Gospel Music Festival, the Chicago Jazz Festival, and the Chicago Country Music Festival. Admission to these events is free to the public, and people of all ages are welcome.

One Dude's Opinion

Some people think that getting hit by a car is a bad thing, but I’m here to tell you that it is not. I was riding my bike across an intersection one day when a car that had stopped at the light charged forward and hit me. Now, I’ll be the first to tell you that getting hit by a car did not tickle, but, then again, it did not hurt as bad as I expected it to. Sure, I was flat on my back for a few minutes, but I ended up walking away from it.
As I was walking toward the corner, I looked behind me and saw that my bike was destroyed, and then I looked forward to see a beautiful girl rushing toward me. She asked if I needed help. I told her I didn’t, but she helped me anyway. I made a few jokes, and she found the fact that I was making jokes minutes after getting hit by a car to be unbelievably charming. We ended up going on a date the next day.
While we were on the date, I got a call from the man who hit me. He was a local politician who did not want news of the accident to get out. He offered me a ton of money to not say anything about the wreck. I took the money and, to make a long story short, I haven’t had a job in 5 years, and I’m married to the girl I met after getting hit by the car. Awesome!
