GIVE THE CHILLS

Hi,
could someone explain me the meaning of this paragraph I have read on Dylan's Chronicles and that it's refering to Robert Johnson's songs?:

'When he sings about icicles hanging on a tree it gives me the chills, or about milk turning blue ... it made me nauseous and I wondered how he did that.'

Thanks in advance, Jo.

Hello Jo "When he sings about icicles hanging on a tree, I have a feeling like a shiver running down my spine. When he sings about milk turning blue, I have a feeling of nausea. " The "icicles" turn up in Johnson's song "I'm a Steady Rollin' Man", and the blue milk in "Milk Cow Calf Blues".

The "icicles" turn up in Johnson's song "I'm a Steady Rollin' Man", and the blue milk in "Milk Cow Calf Blues". You can find samples of both at Barnes
