This one is derived from a 5/21/2021 riff where I had referenced an art gallery in the Chicago Loop that exhibits and sells the art of art students. I had always liked going there to check out the new art. Sometimes there would be interesting pieces that had a je ne sais quoi about them.
The phrase that generated the rhythm was "Gallery in the Loop" which has 16th notes in it and I immediately thought of the "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" groove with the stop-and-go bass. I'm reminded of that art gallery in the loop (on Randolph across from the CCC) that exhibited art that was made by art students and various other "amateur" artists. Some of it was really interesting because it was de-skilled—where the errors in the artwork made it interesting--a little smear here and there or the characters weren't painted correctly—it just had a certain charm to it. Ultimately, the value of art comes from [life] its endearment.
