| Yeah, not certain about the LOTR references discussed in Stairway, but if you don't see it here, you've never read Tolkein. Man, it's just another reason why Led Zeppelin is awesome... | |

| The song is about The Return of The King, Frodo, not Bilbo. Frodo realizes how much he wants the ring (A Girl so Fair), gollum comes up to him and bites his finger off, and falls into the mouth of Mount Doom. My favorite song of all time. | |

| once again, zeppelin seaches for their perfect lady, or are they searching for power over all(the one ring)? they are on a journey to find the "girl so fair," it could be either one. with the tolkien references, it does seem to follow the story of LOTR. and im convinced it's not about the hobbit, but of the "rings" series. | |
