> Bryan Adams - Canadian rock musician, remembering the summer of '69
Actually Adams remembers very little about the summer of '69, when he was 9 years old. He originally called the song “Summer of '75” (or something like that), about the summer when he was 15 (or something like that). A record producer told him, “Who cares about 1975? Make the song about 1969.”

Kirk, Spock (alive!) and crew travel back to present day and steal some whales and save the earth. Again! The Enterprise-A is only in the last moments of the film.
