Leather Disco - Mental Telepathy

Today I received news of the devastating loss of beloved wrestler, "Macho Man" Randy Savage. To honor one of the all time greats, I want to share this new original track from Chicago's Leather Disco.

By the way, this track was released last month so it was only a coincidence that it came out so close to his untimely death. R.I.P. Macho Man.
