Hee, I can almost sing all of Sobakasu. (Still having trouble with the opening).

Not sure whether or not I saw much Messianic imagery. Maybe a little. More just typical hero-archtype stuff. Er, I don't know the terms, my degree ain't in English.

I don't cotton ta that high-falutin' English stuff :) Tolkien did draw from a literary theorist named Lord Raglan who wrote on archetypal hero traits, according to one article I've read.

BTW you have mail.
