"Rube" Lacy, the bluesman - or Rev. Rubin Lacy, the preacher - once said of the blues, "Sometimes the best Christian in the world have the blues quicker than a sinner do. The average sinner ain't got nothin' to worry about. He do what he please, go where he please, use what he please. But a Christian is obligated to certain things and obligated not to do certain things. That sometimes cause the Christian to take the blues."
From "Getting The Blues" by Stephen J. Nichols, pg.145
