because creedence is fucking great and the eagles are boring corporate rock

>the man ain't me starts playing

I think it was just an in-joke, in that he's totally the kind of California baby boomer 'stoner dad' type who typically likes stuff like the Eagles, whereas you would never imagine a really, really black guy like the taxi driver to be so defensively into them

But a lot of snarky Gen X types who watch it take it as this hipster confirmation that the Dude is in on the cool 'fuck the Eagles' meme. he's a Boomer character, not a Boomer-hating Gen Xer.

He never not liked the Eagles

chill stoner boomers don't care that the Eagles or James Taylor or whatever are 'corporate', that's a later punk criticism

FIRST THING I REMMEBEEEEEEEEEEEER
WAS ASKING PAPA WHY
FOR THERE WERE MANY THINGS I DIDN'T KNOOOOOOOOW

Eagles have several good songs.

the only criticism ever is that they aren't 'punk' enough, which is an outmoded criticism because punk is irrelevant now, or that they're assholes - and who cares

I think it's just a joke to make someone so fixated on a given band.
