The shoes make the man

According to Wikipedia, "Graham Leslie Coxon (born 12 March 1969) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and painter and decorator. He came to prominence as the lead guitarist, backing vocalist and occasional lead vocalist of rock band Blur, and is also a critically acclaimed solo artist, having recorded seven solo albums.

Coxon is capable of playing several other instruments, besides guitar, and is famous for recording his albums single-handedly, without much help from session musicians. An innovative lead guitarist, other notable British guitarists such as Jonny Greenwood and Noel Gallagher have lauded Coxon's musicality and talent, with the latter calling him 'one of the most gifted guitarists of his generation.' He was voted the 15th greatest guitarist of the last 30 years in a national 2010 BBC poll."

Yeah, yeah yeah...he's a golden god on guitar and pretty much anything he tries to do. And while that's all well and good, in my opinion Graham Coxon revealed his true genius when he said:

"I've always looked at shoes as being immensely beautiful things."

Thanks to Clif Bar and Twitter, I am the proud owner and wearer of these great new "faux-foam beach moccasins money didn't buy because I won them in a contest" flip flops.

He opened the box and saw that the flip flops were good. And it was good. (Book of Clif Bar 7:14)
