He listens to Bob (Dylan) before Maude’s goons knock him out. Aside from Creedence, whale songs, and audio of bowling championships…well Dude, we just don’t know.
He’s listening to Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band when he’s listening to his voicemails and Marty stops by to tell him about getting the venue / ask about the rent.
Many people are asking for the source of this Sticker. Hijacking the top comment I wanted to share this sticker source with those people who want this a lot! [Here is this](https://ecobasketsboutique.co.uk/the-dude-1) Hope you guys appreciate me.
Correct, the second draft removed the entire 5th paragraph, which outlined an annual free Dead show in the quad. This of course was to coincide with harvest season. Apparently, the administration could not handle the idea of carloads of deadheads invading campus.
In fact, I’m pretty sure the removal of this clause is what pushed the chancellor’s son Dieter, “Karl Hungus”, into Nihilism in the first place.
It wasn’t until the 5th or 6th time watching that I noticed that line and nearly pissed myself.. this movie never gets old.. new shit comes to light almost every time I watch it
That's why it's my most watched movie. The dialogue is just flawless and every time I notice something new, a little reference to another character's lines, that kind of stuff.
He did have the Walkman……it does lead to suspension.
But I can only see him liking the studio stuff. Not the live jams. Just the CCR in the tapedeck makes me think that. Otherwise I could see him into the boys.
I say this as a Deadhead - I feel like if he had been one, he would have made it noticeable! Maybe he got turned off after their popular exploded following the release of Touch of Grey in 1987.
Agreed. Throughout the movie there is no Dead music, no Dead paraphernalia (dancing bears stickers, etc.), and no mention of the Grateful Dead…all very Un Dead things.
Whereas if he was a Deadhead these things would be present in some way or another.
As a deadhead I can confirm the Dude would've probably had a stealie or some dancing bears slapped on something.
However, I still like to think the dude would've got down with some Grateful Dead.
Yeah, the story they unfolded there took place in the early nineties. Right about the time of our conflict with Sadam and the Iraquis. He fit right in there.
Fellow Deadhead here. Can't point to the source, and don't know if it was legit, but I remember reading long ago that the real-life inspiration for The Dude was in fact a Deadhead. The Coens felt that would be a little too on-the-nose or stereotypical, so they made Dude hate the fuckin Eagles instead.
He probably liked them well enough, but you see, Walter isn't down with that jam band shit that just drones on and on, what the fuck is up with that shit man?!? Songs have a catchy riff, a bridge, a chorus, back to the catchy riff. There's fucking rules man.
Well his “college” did include smoking a lot of thai stick... breaking into the ROTC... and bowling. To tell you the truth , he didn’t remember most of it. So, come on , he was a dead head , Are we gonna split hairs here? Am I wrong?
The Coen brothers partially based him off a real dude, who was an avowed Deadhead. But the Deadhead thing was kind of too much of an on the nose cliche for them, so they went for Creedence.
In many ways the Dead share musical elements and stylistic conceits with both the Eagles and Creedence. This is a complicated case, lotta ins, lotta outs...
Yes, I remember hearing that Jeff Dowd was a Deadhead but the Coens changed the Dude’s favorite band to Creedence because they felt having him be a Deadhead would be too stereotypical.
Just learned about Jeff Dowd… I appreciate the history! What the heck what a teenage girl determined to make her father, proud soon realize he has other plans for when he doesn’t approve for big dreams of being a boxer
He liked Metallica well enough to be their roadie... even though rhey turned out to be a buncha assholes. He *could* be a Deadhead AND a Metallica fan, but those don't seem like a likely mix. In 1990/91, I think he's a Nirvana fan.

Goodnight sweet prince.

Well, Dude, we ~~just don't know~~ can probably infer yes.
