Ramble on

[The Ruptured Duck]

Hey I was listening to the radio today and Led Zeppelin came over the radio.  

Does anyone know the connection to Tolkiens works?  It doesn't seem to match what I've read so far.

I read on a site that "Ramble On" was has to do with a story in the appendicies.  Can anyone confirm?

There's a lyric in Ramble On that mentions Gollum stealing some guy's girlfriend in Mordor... I don't recall ever reading of Gollum kidnapping women...sounds like a typical case of too much Tolkien combined with too much tokin'....!!
But don't get me wrong; I grew up on that stuff and still love it; always knew the lyrics were kind of silly, and  never cared.
Actually, other than the Spinal-Tappish Tolkien reference, the lyrics to Ramble On are pretty good, IMHO.
