Throwback Thursday: Brett Gurewitz discusses Bad Religon’s “Stranger Than Fiction”

from Chris DeMakes A Podcast · host Chris DeMakes

This week, Chris DeMakes A Podcast is throwing it back to Episode 104 from May 23rd, 2022, when Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion joined the show to talk about the writing, recording, and legacy of their 1994 single "Stranger Than Fiction." Taken from the album of the same name, the song showcases Brett’s sharp lyrical voice and knack for melody, and in this conversation, he opens up about everything from the first line to the final mix. It's an honest, insightful, and sometimes funny look into one of Bad Religion’s most iconic tracks—definitely worth a listen whether you're a die-hard fan or just someone who loves hearing how great songs come together.
