Hey, F. Scott!

The mystery connection is tenuous--granted. But can we really let this pass without comment? I think not.

Jazz Age writer F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby) was born on this day in 1896. He died of a heart attack when he was way too young, on December 21, 1940. Who knows what he could’ve produced, had he lived past age 44?
