On the hottest day of the summer of 1922, the last day of summer, Daisy Buchanan rolled over M. Wilson in the Valley Of Ashes, while driving Jay Gatsby's big yellow car.
So who hit the "little roller" 64 years later? And where did he hit it?
And who brought to baseball the man who tried to catch the little roller? The man who for many years employed the man who told us about the little roller? The man who owned the team that got it's name from people avoiding being rolled over? The man who left town which led to the stadium being built over the Valley Of Ashes? The man who has been called one of the three most evil men of the 20th century? The man who moved his operation to a ravine, a small, narrow, steep-sided valley?
And what is the name of the third largest stadium built over the Valley Of Ashes?
And who wrote the song that is played before each game played at the Valley Of Ashes? Might he be the second cousin three times removed of the man who first called this area the Valley Of Ashes?
And when a man came to sing other songs in the Valley Of Ashes, why did tens of thousands of young girls scream so that those songs could not be heard? Was it, deep down, a warning? And why were the last two songs called Help and I'm Down? Were he and his partners unknowingly speaking for poor M. Wilson? Maybe, since one of their favorite songs for years, even before they knew each other, had been a song about rolling over. And why did he choose to live in a building designed by the same architects that designed the building that Daisy Buchanan was driving from when she rolled over M. Wilson? Could he see that building from his living room window? Perhaps. And why would Satan's child just happen to be born in the building where he lived?
And when this man had five #1 songs the year he first came to the Valley Of Ashes, it is just a coincidence that another M. Wilson was singing with a group that had four #1 songs that same year? If she could go back in time to 1922, would she have tried to warn Daisy to stop in the name of love?
And what was the date when the man got back to his hotel room after his first visit to the Valley Of Ashes? And what provoked him, after visiting the Valley Of Ashes, to declare that he and his partners were more popular than Jesus? Was it because he knew he was going to return to the Valley Of Ashes?
And, with the Valley Of Ashes being compared to Dante by many readers, what was the name of the group that sang before this man and his partners sang during his second visit to the Valley Of Ashes? And, between visits to the Valley Of Ashes, why did the man and his partners just happen to record a song about a man inviting a woman to drive his car?
And is it just a coincidence that a man who became famous singing a song about a big yellow car was killed just minutes after driving through the Valley Of Ashes, speeding, without a license? And was it just a coincidence that a medley including the song about the man inviting a woman to drive his car was one of the biggest hits on the radio that day? A medley that began with a #1 song sung by a man named Dante? A song that reached #1 the week of the last day of summer, the week that people prepared to celebrate by destroying the field built over the Valley Of Ashes?
And then the man more responsible than anyone for the road he was driving upon died himself, thirteen days later.
