Criticizes everyone for trying to profit off his dad's passing. Releases first single.

With proceeds going to the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, a non-profit that donates musical instruments to kids.

It says it right at the bottom of the description on YT: "Proceeds from “Distance” will be donated to Pop’s favorite charity, Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation
MHOpus.org"

Wolf is such a monster

Pretty decent song, on which he plays all instruments and sings lead. Look forward to seeing what else he does.

Thanks, I wasn’t sure what he was playing/singing with it being a clips video. Not surprising that it’s everything.

I think he did a spectacular job. I was actually quite impressed with his voice and the fact he played all of the instruments.

Wolfie is indeed his own person, just as his father intended him to be. He is not Eddie 2.0, nor does he try to be. As you can see in the video, he was immersed in music since birth.

The video clips in the song were beautiful and showed how much Eddie adored Wolfie. Eddie and Val had a really hard time getting pregnant and suffered at least one miscarriage. So Wolfie was a miracle to them.

He is also quite funny on social media. His mama, Valerie made some onion rings for him but they were kinda overdone, and he posted them online as "overdonion rings".

That voicemail at the end just gutted me emotionally. An interviewer asked Wolfie what was the occasion that prompted that voicemail and he replied that it was no special occasion and that his Eddie always left loving messages like that.
