The Dudeism Forum

Don't Worry, Be Happy, Bobby McFerin

That is certainly one I can stand and salute!  Although I think you might get a long list of suggestions coming your way

Might we get a parody of Lane of Hope and Glory?  Land of Dope and Voddy? 

Also, I vote our first Dudeist religious hymn should be "Hymn 43" by Jethro Tull.

I nominate an obscure song from The 1997 movie Good Burger. Titled:
"We're all dudes". I think this song emulates the dudeist faith and all that other stuff.

I would nominate "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," by Sons of the Pioneers.  It's the song heard over the opening credits of the film.  Here's why Dudes...  I feel that the tumbleweed is the perfect metaphor for us taken'er easy kind of Dudes.  We just sort of FUCKING ROLL in whatever direction the wind (or situation) pushes us.  Wheather it be across a desert, down a boulevard, or on to a sandy beach; we just roll with the punches.  Am I wrong?   
Also, Dudes....  is "national anthem" the prefered nomenclature?

Well, maybe the term "national anthem" is inappropriate because it alienates our international brothers.  And I thought that I had recommended the perfect Anthem, but I concede your recommendation may be better.  I like the symbology as well as the actual harmony of tumbleweeds.  My recommendation for Mr. McFerrin's ballad, although lyrical and melodic, doesn't carry the philosophical content that tumbleweeds brings to the bar.

Excellent recommendation which I second!

Actually the "Nation Of Dude" is were ever you find two or more Dudes sharing a brew or a J, so you can't exclude anyone geographically by refering to it.

In my opinion that is.

That's the vote of confidence in my ramblings there, Rev. Wade.  The Pan-Dudeian Nation refers to two things at once.

Firstly, it's the entire Dudeist community ("pan" being Latin for "all," "of everything," "involving all members" of a group).  No matter who you are, where you are and what you're doing, hence the implication you don't need to emulate The Dude to be A Dude.

Secondly it refers to the entire planet, in the hope that all of mankind can become that Nation of the Dude.  An aspiration for Dudetopia on Earth

Ahhhh! The end of civilisation as we know it 

A dudeist civilization? Sounds like a fabulous idea! All we would need is to have our own country with our own dudely laws to abide to.

All I can say is "Right on, dudes." Crank the Creedence too! That's gotta be considered nationally important at least, if they're not in the anthem running! Gotta love CCR.

Maybe an instrumental would be a good idea. Somethings are beyond words and lyrics are limited to the language they're in. The Allman Brothers JESSICA is one suggestion. Any other instrumental suggestions?

Would love to take shot at it. There's probably a bunch of musicians ordained, it would be cool if a whole bunch came up with tunes of their own. Maybe we could get a compilation CD going, "Dudeist Tuneage" or something like that.
