Leonardo DiCaprio should be singing
this post-humous birthday song
for F. Scott Fitzgerald
louder than anyone.

| Scott Fitzgerald He was born on September 24, 1896 |
Leonardo not only starred in THE GREAT GATSBY
but it has been rumored that DiCaprio will portray
F. Scott Fitzgerald in the FSF novel-turned-biopic
Anyway, here is the song:
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to Scott
Your brilliance is everything
That this sad world is not!
******************************************************
FYI:
Fitzgerald is credited, in the Oxford English Dictionary,
with the first citations of the words T-shirt, daiquiri,
stinko (slang meaning ‘of a very low standard’),
and even wicked (as in ‘excellent’ or ‘remarkable’).
With the exception of stinko (which comes from a letter of 1924),
all of these early uses of these words are found in Fitzgerald’s
first novel, This Side of Paradise.
Perhaps this earlier novel deserves more recognition?
