“Voyager, in case it’s ever encountered by extraterrestrials, is carrying photos of life on earth, greetings in 55 languages and a collection of music from Gregorian chant to Chuck Berry, including ‘Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground’ by 20’s bluesman Blind Willie Johnson, whose stepmother blinded him at 7 by throwing lye in his eyes after his father beat her for being with another man. He died penniless of pneumonia after sleeping bundled in wet newspapers in the ruins of his house that burned down, but his music just left the solar system.”

- Jed Bartlett, The West Wing, season 5, episode 13, "The Warfare of Genghis Khan," first aired Feb 11, 2004.
