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

  • The last few verses were written in the parking lot of Der Wienerschnitzel at the corner of First and Washington in San Diego. [1]
  • When Double Trouble first heard word that Stevie Ray Vaughan had been killed, Chris Layton opened the door to Vaughan's hotel room only to find the bed made and the radio playing Peaceful Easy Feeling which contains the lyrics, "I may never see you again."[1]
