Pearl Jam covered the Doobie Brothers hit "Takin' It to the Streets" during their stop at Madison Square Garden last night, all in the name of frontman Eddie Vedder saying happy birthday to an old friend.
"The HB2 law that was recently passed is a despicable piece of legislation that encourages discrimination against an entire group of American citizens," the band writes.
A few days after Dave Grohl covered the Beatles song at the Oscars, Pearl Jam posted a video of Vedder performing his own version during his 2008 solo tour.
Jack White's Third Man Records also set up an online fundraiser to help Michigan residents who have been exposed to toxic drinking water for two years.
It's no secret that the guys in Pearl Jam are Led Zeppelin fans, or that their 1998 single "Given to Fly" owes an obvious debt to Zeppelin's "Going to California."
