Lit Analysis #2

The book I was call Cool, Hot, and Blue. It is based on jazz music, how it started, how it has changed music and how it has also changed over the decades, jazz artist like Duke Ellington, Buddy Bolden, Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles (WOOHOO!) and etc. Now being a musician who also like to listen and  play jazz music I could really relate to the story of these great jazz artists. In the beginning  when the artist were starting out they didn't care about getting money or becoming famous. Most of them just played because they simply loved the music, which I totally admire.

BIG QUESTIONS

 My first question is to the people who say that the world is going to end. So my question is how many people who thought that the world was going to end did stupid or crazy things?

My second question is will people ever find out if Big Foot really exsist?
