I submit that the kings of Tolkienesque fol-de-rol were none other than Led Zeppelin. (And in the darkest depths of Mordor....)

Always good to hear the Night Tripper, even in his most Katrinaesque vehicle.  So the stream is in stereo again, but there's a nasty buzz in the left channel, at least where I'm sitting.

That last Nixon clip always reminds me of the David Frye bit: "I accept full responsibility... but not the blame. Let me explain the difference. People who accept blame lose their jobs. People who accept responsibility do not."

That's just stealing from Tolkien.  Tolkienesque doesn't actually have to be Tolkien.  The most Tolkienesque thing I ever owned was a Rick Wakeman album based on the Legend of King Arthur.  It was actually pretty darned good.

Not only that, you just dropped Rick Wakeman's name. I believe he was a Strawb before joining Yes.

ETA: Oops--that was Rod that mentioned the Caped Crusader of Keyboards.
