Ok, 2 points:

1. I'm surprised LiveJournal still exists. Genuinely. I used to have one, a loooong time ago.

2. I was always fascinated by Bombadil, he seemed to me like the embodiment of nature itself, or forests. At least, that's the concept he seemed to represent to me. I admit I skipped reading the lyrics though. This is a fascinating theory although it is quite different than what I would conclude from the same evidence.
