The year is 1971: we just went to the moon, Nixon is President (woops), Disney World just opened...and Led Zeppelin is singing about Tolkien. Join Cam and Maggie as they break down one of Zeppelin's most Middle-earthian songs. Ringwraiths, the Dark Lord, and magic runes abound - and Arthurian legend is thrown in for some spice. This kaleidoscope of folklore and magic imagery eerily reflects the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, and encourages us to once again ponder the ways in which legendary moments pass into legend. Galadriel, Gandalf, and Éowyn make their way into the discussion too, along with a special group of Nine (and it's not the one you think). Plus, Maggie properly identifies a mandolin. Huzzah.
