A Reason for “Sabotage” in Star Trek
There's a theory abound that J.J. Abrams included the Beastie Boys' “Sabotage” in the new Star Trek as a nod to original Cap'n Kirk, William Shatner. Back in his Trek days, Shatner insisted on pronouncing the word “Sabo-taj” or “sabo-taag,” with a short “a” instead of the more common pronunciation of “sab-uh-tahzh.” If that's the case, awesome nod, Abrams.
