Ben + Vesper’s Bio-Medicine

There are a lot of fascinating things to know about Ben + Vesper. First of all, there’s a guy out there named Ben Vesper. He is a brilliant chemist doing groundbreaking research at the University of Illinois. Strangely, Sufjan Stevens recorded a collection of songs about Illinois in 2005, and one of the songs is called “Chicago,” where Ben Vesper lives and works. 2005 also happened to be the year that Ben Vesper began his Post-doctorate work at the University of Illinois. Ben Vesper’s full name is Benjamin J. Vesper. Ben (from Ben + Vesper) also has a middle name that begins with the letter J – for Jacob. We found all this out on Google.com. He (Ben Vesper) appears to have the same hair color as Ben + Vesper both (dirtyblonde/sandybrown). The said hair appears to have curly potential, given some time to grow, just like Ben + Vesper. Currently Ben J. Vesper’s hair and Ben J. Stamper’s hair length is exactly the same (according to the only existing source photo). Ben Vesper’s favorite bands are Metallica, Green Day, AC/DC, The Beatles and Bon Jovi. Jon Bon Jovi has a house in Middletown, NJ which is a mere 21 minutes from the residence of Ben + Vesper (Orange, NJ). When Ben first moved to NJ eleven or so years ago, he wrote a song that talks about Middletown. He had no idea that Jon had a house there. Ironically, Bon Jovi’s forthcoming album is entitled “The Circle.”

Needless to say, Ben Vesper will be receiving the complete discography of Ben + Vesper, as well as a lifetime supply of new releases and B+V swag. Ben + Vesper would like to gratefully acknowledge the groundbreaking work Ben Vesper is doing in the field of Bio-Medicine.
