Yeah, Old man Willow aside, the Bombadill side-story just did not fit the mood of LotR. I always got the feeling it was written in there while Tolkien was still making the transition from tale for younger readers to serious adult epic (like the sapient fox when the Hobbits were leaving the shire) and because it set up the magic blades and barrow wight stuff he just kept it in (and that Tolkien just plain liked the silly jolly english pub tales feel of it). It definitely felt like an artifact of an earlier draft though.
