Despite today's date being noteworthy, you just know this is how he really feels.

Of course it is. But, he wouldn't get the same widespread promotion of his plots if he didn't drag the name of a famous book through the mud with him.

A well-known German LotR movie website posted the news that 'Blind Guardian' would be performing the title song for the Hobbit movie: click on the link to hear "The Bard's Song". I'm sure fans are disappointed that Cirdan (who runs the website and is a fellow member of the German Tolkien Society) chose April 1st for publishing the news...

Although, if Sir Peter were to take part in the Festival of the Well-made Play, I'd be a little concerned that he might get, well, creative with the Cycle. Wouldn't go down well with the Flongs, I can tell you. |

Personally, I prefer torches and pitchforks over makeshift bows and arrows. Must be the traditionalist in me.
