Show Notes

Today on Soundtracker, there's this fella I wanna tell ya' about. Fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.  And joining me to talk about him is the author of the recently released short story collection, A Creature Wanting Form, Luke O'Neil (@lukeoneil47). Luke is a good man. And thorough.

It's BIG LEBOWSKI time, and in this episode we talk about the impeccable casting, the way it's the delivery that makes so many of the one-liners so memorable, whether Walter would have been a MAGA guy in 2016, the odd choices on the official soundtrack, Kenny Rogers, and the fucking Eagles. So give it a listen, which is in accordance with what we think Donny's dying wishes might well have been.
