[off-topic] > [@Equipoise](#): > > Kirsty MacColl - [“Angel”](http://youtu.be/YNrFERDyP18) (already mentioned, but needs to be linked since it’s such a great song.) It’s so odd. When I went looking for this song on YouTube to link and found this video I did a double-take and almost fell over. That’s my picture of Kirsty! My husband and I are standing on either side of her in the [original](http://wretchawry.com/KirstyUs.jpg) shot. It was taken at the Double Door in Chicago and I gave someone my camera to get the three of us. I have no idea who this person on You Tube is or where they found the photo to crop and use. I’m not angry he used it, I’m fine with it. It was a shock though. The things you find while randomly looking for Dope post links.[/off-topic] ---

Technically, the name of the J. Geils Band song is “Centerfold” but the main line is “Angel is a centerfold”. And they did another song titled “Angel in Blue”. ---
