Boats Against the Current

So in seventh grade I read The Great Gatsby and absolutely fell in love with F. Scott Fitzgerald.

It was around the same time Eric Carmen came out with the album Boats Against the Current, and my mom loved that album too.

And so I'd be, I'd be reading Fitzgerald and then listening to Eric Carmen sing and, you know, just...

And oh, and then of course the film with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow.
