In addition to our shared affinity for local restaurants, we Doctors of Za are also staunch proponents of the local music scene. But when Gilead Media mailed me a press pack and CD of Milwaukee hardcore outfit Get Rad yesterday, I didn’t know quite why. I mean, I was glad to get the album 1. For free, 2. A day before tonight’s CD release show at Bay View Brew Haus… but the glut of my freelance work falls into the realms of local dining reviews, concert recaps, and professional baseball or arena football profiles. And sometimes I’ll slap on a moniker to write borderline offensive things pertaining to pizza. So why me?
But when I heard Get Rad’s masterpiece “Drug of Choice”, I understood. Spanning just over a minute, it wasted no time striking a chord deep within me. It’s nothing short of scripture. I’d like to share it with you.
“Drug of Choice” by Get Rad:
“Every little bite I savor in my mouth makes it easy to forget about the times when I said no to cheese,
Now all I think is ‘give it to me’,
Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at supper time,
Pizza is my favorite food. Crack is wack but pizza’s good,
It’s motherfuckin’ pizza time!
I can’t find any relevant “Drug of Choice” audio or video clips to post. But it’s nothing short of the best pizza-related song ever. Dean Martin, God rest his soul, and his “That’s Amore” song can eat a bag of dicks compared to “Drug of Choice.”
Go to the show, get the record and live each day like it’s “motherfuckin’ pizza time!”
