One thing strikes me as quite odd. Why do we now so little about the show business of ME? I mean, singing about cows flying over the moon can't all ME has to offer.

Therefor I've made some scientific research. Apart from the sources found in the books, I've actually manged to get my hands on a few exemplars of the old "ME weekly Biz", magazines found in the excavations in Asia (for more info click here <---)

So what did I find you wonder. Well, to start with I found a very interesting article about a rock band of very mysterious people from Caradhras called the Falling Stones. Apparently they used the Mouth of Sauron as a logo. One of the front figures was a man called Slick Dagger.

Also, Aragorn and Arwen decided to make some music too, already being celebrities and all. They formed a group together with Bilbo and, believe it or not, the not-so-dead-as-we-thought Boromir. Even if Aragorn and Arwen was the main singers, they all had their part of the groups name, formed by the first letter in everybody's name. Among their greatest hits we find Mamma Ria (a song honouring Arwen's mother- Ria was her nick for Celebrian) and Ring Ring (speaks for itself).

There was some info about a much loved tv show called Fiends too. Mostly circling around five more or less insane evil spirits doing nothing special. Sounds quite booring but it seems as if it was highly appreciated.

BTW, did you know Gollum started a career as rapper? His lyrics were made of the story of his life. From a distasteful creature living in a cave to his new life as rich and famous. He was so good that he soon got the nickname Eminent...

Have anyone else any information about this, previously unknown side of Middle Earth? Come on, share it with us! I know there's much more gifted persons than me out there who might have found something in their researches.

(I know this is just plain stupid and maybe not very funny, but stupid is part of the description for a lot of the Mirth section and I became really curious of the "biz" of ME after a few wishes in the "
Be careful what you wish for... " thread )
