Discussing Bad Religion’s Music With A ’Stranger than Fiction’ Fan (feat. Amanda H.)

Because this is a Bad Religion podcast, it can be assumed that the only people who generally (or predominately) would be on the episodes would be those who are giant fans or appreciators, and know a lot of things regarding the band.  While we obviously love when this happens (and welcome it at all times); one of the things we've been open about is welcoming folks on who know very little, or nothing at all.  Given that jamilah is a longtime appreciator, it is always wonderful to hear perspectives from new ears.

During a weekend of Metallica-related events, jamilah sat outside of a bar with Amanda, when the bartender put on a mixed soundtrack of Metallica (of course) and Bad Religion.  Both of them were singing along, so it was figured that Amanda was a giant fan of BR.  It was discovered that while Amanda is indeed an appreciator of the band; however, she was only familiar with Stranger Than Fiction, as well as Greg Graffin's third solo album, Millport. 

So of course...  she had to be on an episode. 

Amanda and jamilah also discuss Ozzy Osbourne's passing, the Punk In The Park controversy (and petition), lyrical admirations, musical similarities and more.

Thanks for listening!
