It’s Thursday. Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie’s son, has released his debut single, Distance, from his solo band Mammoth WVH. Wolfgang plays all instruments and sings, calling Distance a deeply personal tribute to his late father, Eddie Van Halen. The Distance video features home video footage of Wolfgang, Eddie, and mother Valerie from his childhood years through recent tours with Van Halen. It ends with a heartfelt voicemail from Eddie.

“As my pop continued to struggle with various health issues, I was imagining what my life would be like without him and how terribly I’d miss him. While the song is incredibly personal, I think anyone can relate to the idea of having a profound loss in their life. I never intended ‘Distance’ to be the very first piece of music people would hear from me, but I also thought my father would be here to celebrate its release. This is for him. I love and miss you, Pop.” – WVH
Proceeds from “Distance” will be donated to Pop’s favorite charity, Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation MHOpus.org
Another Pandemic Weekend
I can’t believe all the people who have already put up their Christmas tree and decked their house out with lights. It probably has a lot to do with the mild November weather we’ve been having lately. Still feels weird, though. I did manage to take advantage of the warm weather earlier in the week by getting the Vette ready for its winter slumber. It’s clean, covered, and put away until at least May of next year. It’s sad to see it go, but it would be even sadder seeing snow on it.
I hope everyone enjoyed the double babes & double jokes all week long. They’re back for today along with a two-fer of amateur photos… enjoy!
