January 7, 2012 – a date which will live not in infamy but legend – Kisses For Free participated in a moment that the Rolling Stone 100^th anniversary issue will undoubtedly describe as more important than The Beatles’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.  Verto learned the percussion particulars, Brittany belted out the vocals, Eddie ripped off epic guitar solos, and Connor slapped the bass sans shirt.  High Life was sipped, gulped, and/or chugged, car bombs were downed, Boner Juice (a delectable vodka courtesy of Mark Snyder) was slammed, and riddles from the caps of Lone Star Beer were solved.  Beautiful, harmonious songs, such as “One More Tequila,” “Band Jobs,” and “What I’m Selling” were practiced, along with guilty pleasure sing-alongs like “What’s Up?”

One might believe that this was just a typical Saturday night band practice, but believing such malarkey would be a mistake, for this was no ordinary session.  Unbeknownst to the band members, a guest in the house modified a song title that will certainly rocket Kisses For Free to stardom.  With the band focused intently on its craft, the visitor went up to the bulletin board leaning against the eastern wall of the room.  The tunes’ names, written in azure marker upon white paper that was pinned to the cork, called to the gentleman sitting alongside the bar.  Highlighter in hand, this man of mystery made his way to the board and added three little letters to the title “Tomb With A View,” albeit in a slightly different shade of blue.  With a subsequent change made via black ink on the corresponding page of the official band notebook, “Tomb With A View” had been transformed to “Tomberg With A View,” or, as I now propose in this very paragraph, “Tom Berg With A View” (though I would settle for “TomBerg With A View”).

While the paper on the bulletin board and the page in the notebook refer to the song by its rightful and proper title, the Kisses For Free website (http://www.kissesforfree.com) has yet to update the name.  The band members continue to hold themselves back by neglecting to transform “Tomb With A View” to stronger, bolder “Tom Berg With A View,” and it is a damn shame.  Kisses For Free is destined for greatness, and I want to do everything in my power to help this band reach immortality.  Please do your part and urge Kisses For Free to make the change that will catapult these up and coming stars to greatness.  Whether it’s Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/freekisses), Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/KissesForFree or @KissesForFree), or old-fashioned email ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you for your efforts, and someday Kisses For Free will as well.
