In Popular Culture
The song Doolin Dalton, a hit for the Eagles, was inspired by the gang. Furthermore, Desperado, the album on which the song Doolin Dalton appears, is considered a 'concept album' inspired by the antics of the various players from this era including a song called 'Bittercreek'; a passing lyrical reference to a barmaid named 'Flo'; and of course the iconic photo on the back cover of said album which features the members of the band lying face up, hands tied and appearing to be dead, much like the infamous historical picture of the Dalton Brothers 'lying dead in Coffeyville'.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“But popular rage,
Hysterica passio dragged this quarry down.
None shared our guilt; nor did we play a part
Upon a painted stage when we devoured his heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,—not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
