Excerpt from the liner notes to *Yesterday's Wine*:

Just last year one of those supermarket tabloids had a full-page story
about the face of Jesus suddenly appearing on the outside wall of a
grocery store in South America after a rainstorm. Hundreds of people
came to pray to the image of Jesus, and some of the sick went away
cured. A few days later, following another thunderstorm, a new figure
appeared on the wall beside Jesus. It was Julio Iglesias.

What had happened, the rain had washed off the coat of whitewash that
had covered a poster for "To All the Girls I've Loved Before."

The supermarket headline said:

THAT'S NOT JESUS -- IT'S JUST OLD WILLIE
