Never saw the original Star Trek series, but have heard good things. I thought the first movie by JJ Abrams was pretty good.

I agree, but the rest were forgettable.
Another excellent '70s Dharma song, one of my favorites. Played nightly in most every club in Southeast Asia in the early 1970s:

1989 my daughter was born and this song came out. A coincidence? I think not. An all-time great!
Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that Iām a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that Iām a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Oh, crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thoughts
Stilted conversations
Iām afraid thatās all weāve got
You say you just donāt see it
He says itās perfect sense
You just canāt get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defense
Say it loud (say it loud), say it clear (oh, say it clear)
You can listen as well as you hear, yeah
Itās too late (itās too late) when we die (oh, when we die)
To admit we donāt see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
Itās the bitterness that lasts
So donāt yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you donāt give up, and donāt give in
You may just be okay
So say it, say it, say it loud, say it clear (oh, say it clear)
You can listen as well as you hear
Because itās too late, itās too late (itās too late)
When we die (oh, when we die)
To admit we donāt see eye to eye
I wasnāt there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didnāt get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
Iām sure I heard his echo
In my babyās new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
So say it, say it, say it loud, say it clear (oh, say it clear)
You can listen as well as you hear, yeah
Itās too late (itās too late) when we die (itās too late when we die)
To admit we donāt see eye to eye
Hey, so say it, say it, say it loud (say it loud, say it loud)
Say it clear (come on say it clear)
Say it loud
(Donāt give up, donāt give in and donāt look away 'til itās too late)
Say it clear

I love this song as well! I think I prefer the Melodians version though, since they use the more Rastafari lyrics. Both versions are great though and the song is a moving testament to how the Israelites must have felt in Babylon and by extension African people in captivity in the Americas.
This made me think of other reggae songs that have really moved me in the past. Here are some of my favorites:
Bob Marley āThree Little Birdsā
Lucky Dube āDifferent Coloursā
Alpha Blondy āJah Lightā

This is a great film about musician and songwriter Michael Franti, as he travels the world and meets with people involved with various positive struggles to create a better world, while at the same time dealing with some struggles in his own life and family.

I remember hearing this song when I was maybe ten. The first song I ever learned, partially anyway. I was only ten.

Love this one, especially at about the one minute mark where they display how beautiful the use of holograms can be
