The Dude lives! Or El Duderino, if you're not in the whole brevity thing. Jeff Bridges & The Abiders have just been added as the musical headliner for the 2014 edition of Lebowski Fest, which hits La's Wiltern Theater on Friday, April 25. The two-day event kicks off with a screening of the Coens' absurd, whacky and wonderful 1998 cult classic "The Big Lebowski," followed by a wild bowling party boasting plenty of white Russians and a nihilist or two. This year's Lebowski Fest, in addition to a live performance from Bridges and his band, will feature performances from the Kyle Gass Band, and special guests Jim Hoosier, Luis Colina and Robin Jones. The first annual Lebowski Fest was held in Louisville in 2002, and has travelled to New York, La, Chicago, Las Vegas, Austin, Seattle, London and Edinburgh. It's a must-attend for fans of the film.

In the decade since the Coen brothers' film made its underwhelming debut, Jeff Bridges's amiably flaky dropout has become the focus of unusually devout veneration
"I understand what it means to say that there is an omnipotent, benevolent creator," Ethan Coen asserted in his Princeton thesis, Two Views of Wittgenstein's Later Philosophy, "and that claim strikes me as the height of stupidity." We can only wonder what Coen makes of the fact that he and his brother Joel have created a – well, I won't say a god because what's a god? – peculiar object of contemporary veneration.
On its release in 1998, The Big Lebowski was not one of the Coens' more successful films. The convoluted film noir pastiche was built around the amiably flaky Venice Beach dropout – and singularly ill-equipped ad-hoc private eye – known as the Dude (Jeff Bridges). A deadbeat and a loser to the square community, he nevertheless maintains a certain baked poise,...
