I wonder if led zepplin had an interest in it too. Ramble on. Led zepplin 2

Fun Fact: Zeppelin copied Ramble On - or, at least, the lyrics - from an old blues record. Then they added the verse about Gollum.

Thank goodness Tolkien turned them down. They would’ve made the story into something pscyhedelic.

Jackson’s “the Hobbit” Was awful.

No way would Tolkein have approved of a lov affair between a dwarf and a female elf.
