I loved the films

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

It was really important to Tolkien to incoroprate song into the storyline. While I didn't enjoy reading all those damn songs, to him they were essential to his creation of a mythology for the English.

While I was glad most songs were stricken from the storyline (along with Tom Bombadillo), I totally understand if someone wants to create a musical and remain truer to Tolkien's vision. Just don't expect me to go watch it.

According to the The Silmarillion, the entire existance of the universe is a song being sung between the gods.
"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
