2LP black vinyl in gatefold jacket + download coupon! Beat the Champ is about professional wrestling, which was an avenue of escape for me when I was a kid.\r\n\r\nWrestling was low-budget working class entertainment back then, strictly UHF material. It was cheap theater.\r\n\r\nYou had to bring your imagination to the proceedings and you got paid back double. I wrote these songs to re-immerse myself in the blood and fire of the visions that spoke to me as a child, and to see what more there might be in them now that I\'m grown.
