Cultural references
In the 1998 film The Big Lebowski, this song plays when Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski is in a cab after Malibu's police chief orders him out of town. Being very worn out and not liking the Eagles, The Dude angers the cab driver after requesting him to change the station. After The Dude complains some more, the cab driver pulls over and forces him out of the cab.[citation needed]
Trivia
