The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
The Eye

Nazgul number nine, of course, was a radical peace activist in his younger days. He is, perhaps, best known for staging a "bed-in" in Dol Guldor in protest at the War against the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Also at that time, he could often be found organising demonstrations on the Plateau of Gorgoroth, reciting bohemian Elvish poetry and placing flowers into the mouths of his colleagues' fell beasts.

Unfortunately, the lure of riding around Middle-earth scaring things ultimately became too much for him and he ended up becoming part of the system that he himself once so passionately protested about. But, it was the radical activities of his youth which inspired the penultimate track of the Beatles' White (City) Album, written in his honour.
