This is about Edie Sedgwick, who was famous in New York's underground club scene. She appeared in many Andy Warhol films, about 11 or so. Her last film was Ciao! Manhattan, which was made without Warhol. That is why the song is called Edie (Ciao Baby). (thanks, Ingrid - Huntington, WV)
Edie Sedgwick died of a drug overdose when she was 28. Actress Kyra Sedgwick is her neice.

"Ciao Baby" Excellent! The stars wrapped in your hair. Thanks

It's my favourite Cult song, for some strange, unknown reason. I'm just addicted to it.

And having Siena Miller play Edie in a film was just crap

The video single is in their best Top 5 videos to me.

Ian Astbury sounds a lot like Jim Morrison. Sonic Temple is a very good album.

Kyra's not Edie's niece. Kyra's grandfather and Edie's dad were brothers, so this makes them first cousins, once removed.
So vibrant, so tragic.
