"Stranger than Fiction" is a song by American punk rock band Bad Religion, featured on their 1994 album with the same title.
More than a decade after its release, "Stranger Than Fiction" remains one of the band's concert staples. The live version also appears on their 2006 live DVD Live at the Palladium.
At a Bad Religion concert in 1996, frontman Greg Graffin sang "I wanna know why Gurewitz cracked, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction", referring to then-former and now-current guitarist Brett Gurewitz, as opposed to "I want to know why Hemingway cracked, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction".[1] In other shows Graffin substitutes the line "Life is the crummiest book I ever read" with "Life is the shittiest book I ever read"
