Josh Freese Honors His 'Favorite' Boss, Paul Westerberg

Though Josh Freese has worked for many accomplished musicians during his career -- most recently, he's worked with Devo, Weezer and the Vandals -- the talented drummer uses one of the tracks on his new solo album, 'Since 1972,' to pay tribute to his favorite former employer, ex-Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg. On the song 'Blood on Your Knuckles,' Freese honors his peer/hero in both melody and lyrics, sliding in a nod to the Replacements' classic 'Bastards of Young' with the lines, "We don't ever wanna miss the guy from Minneapolis/Take one big step and he's missing the whole first rung."

"That's where I come from, that's who I grew up lovin'. He's my favorite, without a doubt," Freese tells Spinner. Despite having known Westerberg since the start of his solo career in the early '90s, Freese -- whose resume also includes stints with the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Avril Lavigne and Guns N' Roses, among dozens of others -- admits to still getting starstruck on the track, singing the lines "Calls me every Christmas day/I never know quite just what to say/going 15 years of kinda sorta being my friend."

The Eagles Suit Up to Fight Multiple Sclerosis

The Eagles donned suits and hit Los Angeles' Century Plaza Hotel on Friday, affording a rare opportunity to see the biggest-selling American band in history in a hotel ballroom. For this benefit to fight Multiple Sclerosis, the band looked to match the tone of the evening. "We wanted to do songs that were positive and full of hope," Don Henley said from the stage. "But we realized we don't have very many of them."

They managed to find a few optimistic songs from their repertoire to engage the star-studded crowd, which included Dustin Hoffman, Jewel, Kim Kardashian, Amanda Bynes and Avril Lavigne, who told Spinner she came out to support host Nancy Davis, the L.A. woman who's put the Race to Erase MS event on for the past 16 years after being diagnosed with the disease herself. A sing-along version of 'Take it to the Limit' even got a few couples dancing in between the dinner tables.

Avril Lavigne on Britney
