No. 1 hit on the mainstream rock chart featured guest turn by a perplexed Jimmy Page.

J.J. Abrams really likes "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys.  He must because he's used it in two of the Star Trek movies that he's directed.  My wife and I were watching Star Trek: Beyond on Hulu the other night, and Captain Kirk and his crew used the song to thwart an alien attack on a Federation starbase...

Everyone from the Foo Fighters to Weezer to the Beastie Boys have made some of the funniest videos of all time. Her...
