The Kissers: Home

Long time Madison activist Ben Masel recently died of lung cancer. He was a Kissers fan and saw us frequently at our Monday night gig at O'Cayz Corral back in the end of the 20th century. I've always respected him for his unrelenting efforts to do what he believed was right and for constantly arguing in favor of ending the drug war and legalizing marijuana. I am 100% a proponent of treating drug abuse as an illness to be treated and NOT a crime to be punished. We've lost a great voice to this cause.

In memory of Ben, I've posted an old Kissers song, Ray of Truth, that mentions Ben and his highest profile event: Harvest Fest.

We'll miss you, Ben.

-Ken

Inspired by the hundreds of thousands of people who have been gathering in Madison, in Wisconsin, and around the U.S., we wrote a new song called "Scotty, We're Coming for You."
