BBC Interview

Timbo_mbadil Rivendell Jul 30 2024, 5:00am Views: 3013 BBC Interview I just stumbled across an interview on the BBC website with JRRT. (It has probably already been posted years ago, but never mind :-) https://www.bbc.com/...he-lord-of-the-rings I’ve lost my mood ring, and I really don’t know how to feel about this. -- "Tracy" Jordan, some episode from "30Rock"

We all have this final "earthly" chapter in our lives. As I've gotten older the impact, meaning, or inspiration it brings ebbs and flows. For the inspiration it brought to Professor Tolkien who gave us Middle-earth and his stories... I'm profoundly grateful. It has been a HUGE grounding to my life :) We have been there and back again.

Timbo_mbadil Rivendell Aug 23 2024, 7:44pm Views: 2408 Not just a grounding for me. I can honestly say that Tolkien's works did save my life. (When I was 15 we moved to another country, I didn't like the people, I didn't like the place – I would have been on the verge of ending it all, but then I had LOTR and Sil to hold on to :-) And it turned out to be the funkiest place on earth … Thanks Paris, thanks JRRT I’ve lost my mood ring, and I really don’t know how to feel about this. -- "Tracy" Jordan, some episode from "30Rock"
