I post this every time: How did The Eagles "single handedly destroy that whole scene that was brewing"? Fun history including The Big Lebowski, The Rolling Stones, Townes Van Zandt, & T Bone Burnett.

The below is the wonderful and hilarious foundation of the title of this post.

I never, ever get tired of the anecdote. Especially the history it weaves between The Stones, Klein, Townes Van Zandt, and T Bone Burnett, and The Eagles, all for the Big Lebowski!

I don't want my anecdotal opinion mucking up the conversation (but in the theater I legit jumped out of my seat feeling validated LOL), but I do want to point out that there is a misconception that people hate The Eagles because The Big Lebowski made it "cool or edgy" to hate on them, versus the incredibly well written script truly paying homage to Los Angeles of the era, and representing The Dude's persona and history incredibly faithfully.

I would love to hear from people of that era, maybe in music, and from the LA scene talk about this specific line:

You can't leave the thread without listening to Townes cover. Just amazing music and rough, hard lived life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ApA2W8f2vg
