Robert Plant's Led Zeppelin Bandmates Had No Idea He Was Referencing Tolkien In The Band's Lyrics

Tolkien lived as a young man, and says his Led Zeppelin bandmates were unaware that he was referencing "The Lord of the Rings" in his songwriting for the band. Robert Plant's latest album, "Saving Grace," is available everywhere now. #Colbert #Comedy #RobertPlant #SavingGrace #NewMusic #NewAlbums #LedZeppelin #Music #StephenColbert #TheLateShow Subscribe To "The Late Show" Channel: http://bit.ly/ColbertYouTube Watch full episodes of "The Late Show": http://bit.ly/1Puei40 Listen to "The Late Show Pod Show" podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/Awagtx95?sid=yt Like "The Late Show" on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1df139Y Follow "The Late Show" on X: http://bit.ly/1dMzZzG Follow "The Late Show" on Instagram: http://bit.ly/29wfREj Watch The Late Show with Stephen Colbert weeknights at 11:35 PM ET/10:35 PM CT.
