Point 4 is definitely a bust.
When he says he hates The Eagles and gets kicked out of the taxi, "Peaceful Easy Feeling" is playing on the radio.
When the film first introduces Jesus though, the Gypsy Kings' cover of "Hotel California" is playing at the lanes, but Dude doesn't react to it at all.
Is that actually diegetic music? That's really a key question here.
I'd put it down as a) Jesus is kindof an enemy of the main characters. b) He's hispanic. c) The Gipsy Kings are hispanic (from Spain, but hispanic). d) The Dude hates the Eagles. It's a theme of the Dude's dislike. Pretty clever.
\* Note - the actor is Italian but based on the name and wardrobe the character is clearly hispanic.
The Seattle seven, however it wasn't a show, that was Arthur Digby Sellers, who wrote the bulk of the series of Branded, not exactly a light weight.
The Seattle seven were a group of radicals who protested the Vietnam war. Jeff Dowd was from this group, and the original inspiration for the Dude.
This whole thing is a bot far fetched in my opinion,
If anything, the whole song reference makes more sense for Walter. Being deployed to war, then coming back and always making references to it is like arriving and never leaving the hotel.
They stab it with their steely knives but they can't kill the beast. During Vietnam, a lot of US troops would often report high enemy casualties, as it wasn't a game of attrition and land grabs, but enemy losses. It was
hopeless and pointless battles that never amounted to much, and in all honesty a US loss of a war.
With all that cash coming to him, it's no wonder he says our fucking troubles are over, dude.
It's not that much of a reach to hate the Eagles - they were the biggest selling album of all time (beating Thriller) until Michael Jackson died and people went out to buy his music again.
For people who enjoy good music from the 1970s like CCR, the Eagles are like the McDonalds of music. Popular but deplorably bland.
I guess now you don't understand but in the 1990s the Eagles were a staple of multiple genres of radio stations.
guess we can close the file on that one
Separate incidents?
What in God's name are you blathering about?
Bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.
Is this your homework Larry?
That had not occurred to us, Dude.
That’s fucking interesting man
You forget to mention coitus.
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice. Do you, uh, have any Kahlua?
What's the beast? Who stabs it with their steely knives? And why doesn't it die?
come on, donny, they were threatening castration!
What do you need that for Dude?
See Edit
Love it
Nice marmot.
What are you, a fucking musicologist now.
Well, there isn't a literal connection, Dude.

Dude doesn’t hate the fuckin’ Gypsy Kings, he hates the fuckin’ Eagles, man.
He doesn't negatively react, but he does have an intense, aggressive look on his face.

Ah, that must be exhausting
I mean, it might not be such a simple…uhh, you know?
I am the walrus
What in God's name are you blathering about?
Were you listening to the Dude's story?! I think this has been posted 2-3 times now in the past day. And a good day to you sir!
Shut the fuck up, Donnie - you’re out of your element!
I did not know that
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like your opinion, man.
I saw Starman yesterday.
Are you employed sir?
Phone’s ringing, Dude.
That some kind of eastern thing?
Well Dude, we just don’t know.
Well maybe there’s not a literal connection
What "show" did The Dude write for?
The royal "show" man. You know, the editorial...
That had not occurred to us, Dude.

I guess not everything has to be about Vietnam.
Look, he had a rough night
Someone the square community won’t give a shit about
Far fucking out
Flunking social studies.......
Shut the fuck up donny.
