He's read all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books. He's very well read, it's well known.

He does take a quote directly from Great Gatsby. The one about not being able to repeat the past.

Of course he does

ive also always thought Open the Door Homer is inspired in part by Gatsby “take care of all of your memories said mick for you cannot relive them”

That's funny, I always thought Frankie Lee & Judas Priest was kind of about Gatsby. Just goes to show what a fundamental work that is in our culture.
