I like this Dude. Certainly not as much as Bridges' Dude, but I gotta hold respect for him. He can provide a good amount of energy when he feels it and otherwise could care less about the world around him now.

A good reminder to always make sure you are your idealized self no matter what happens in life. A true legend doesn't need to be anything other than their ideal selves.

...sometimes there's a man - I won't say a hero, 'cause what's a hero? But sometimes there's a man - and I'm talking about the Dude here - sometimes there's a man... Well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there, and that's the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man, and the Dude was most certainly that, quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles county, which would place him high in the running for laziest worldwide. LOL!!! What an introduction by the Coen Brothers about the Dude.

Shout out to Jeffrey Peterson (The 420 Comic), to the Dude's left at 0:21. I got to perform on the 3rd Annual "Chromic-Con" with Dowd and Peterson last year. The Dude was the guest of honor (It was his Birthday). He's actually a super nice guy, and very entertaining with his stories....like how he once dropped acid with Bob Hope out in Twenty-Nine Palms!

Mmm I'm glad her provided the inspiration for "The Dude" but I can see myself losing patience with this guy fast. Thou he gave "inspiration" we all need to remember he's Jeff "The Dude" Dowd, not Jeff "The Dude" Lobowski, who inspired people to follow a new freeform let it go way of life. I can see myself never getting sick of JD-L, thinking.. this man is so chill. How can you hate him? He don't give a f*** who's President, or if you don't like him.. He just wants to have a good time.

You know it's funny or cool or whatever for a while. Then you realize it's just a guy who can't get a girl, barely makes rent, and spends all his money on booze. When it's someone like Jeff Bridges (young) it's appealing, but when they get into their 50's, 60's, 70's and still living the same lifestyle it's just sad. My home town is full of "cool" people who do the same shit every single weekend. You end up working in a factory your entire life and never seeing the world.
