Another example is "The Untimely Death of Brad", which is about the dangers posed by the Internet and tabloid culture. The song stems from a show where Brad was not available due to a wedding he was attending and Bret Barker replaced him on stage. Reese Roper joked that Brad was not performing because he was dead and, what happened next was "... someone made this posting on the internet that he was dead... It seemed there were always new rumors about it." The band helped to promote the rumors (in jest) by writing this song, releasing "Brad Is Dead", a vinyl EP, and telling audiences that he had "passed on" at shows where he did not appear.
