I love this quotation. It's spoken in the middle of a live gospel performance by Sweet Honey in the Rock, performed in a church in 1980.

Everybody talking about spirituals, and they say, Oh Lord, black folk singing about going to heaven. No, this lesson is for <I>you</I>, tonight, November the eighth, 1980, in All Souls Church. Lay down the world, pick up my cross — and they don’t say it’s good <I>times</I>, they say good <I>news</I>. It’s hard times when you decide to pick up your own cross. You gone catch hell if you don’t do it the way they say do it. But when you lay down the world and shoulder up your cross, that’s what? Ain’t that good news? </SPAN> <DIV class="source">— Sweet Honey in the Rock, “Good News,” from <I>Breaths</I> (Flying Fish, 1988).<BR /><A target="_blank" href="http://amazon.com/o/ASIN/B000000MF4"><IMG src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000000MF4.01.THUMBZZZ.jpg" /></A></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F880F942-738A-488C-BD05-615BCFD850F3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
