The most convincing theory I've seen recently on the categorisation of the Bombadillo is that he is Maia.

However, I reckon he's far too good a lyricist to truly belong in that category.

Tom Bombadil is the reincarnation of John Lennon.

Either that or he's that guy Richie who went missing from the Manic Street Preachers in 1996.

Whatever, he writes great songs <img src=wink.gif ALT="">
