This just seems like a bad idea. But this does actually make me think that a Peter Jackson Odyssey could actually be good. Not just the fact that Tolkien was trying to recreate Ancient and Germanic epic poems, but in the extended editions there were some of Tolkien’s songs that were performed. And it really captured the fact that they were songs, but sung by drunk guys in the pub or just a guy passing time while they were nervously waiting for battle. And even professional bards would have been the guy that had a guitar/lute.

Not the stupid analogy of “back in the day this would have been a hot new track. And Homer would have been a famous performer like the currently famous hip-hop artists the youths are into”
