And old bluesman said that songs like this, which seem to criticize a woman, are really about the singer's boss, and it was common knowledge among the people who sang them. It was too dangerous to criticize the boss. |

Nine below be's much colder thataway than Centigrade! Before I ever heard the original, I had picked up this phrase from Dylan, for whom it was 9 below zero *at 3 o'clock in the afternoon"! Yikes!
