Subject: Origins: kettle boils over From: Mo the caller Date: 17 Mar 12 - 08:31 AM Happy St Pats day. I have heard it said that the line about the kettle Boiling over in the song The Frost is All Over, refers to an illegal still, and boiling over would produce a lot of tell-tale steam, so be a disaster. Is this groundless speculation? |
