1982 Newspaper Clipping – McCourt Was Missing At Holmes’ Trial
Tracy McCourt attended Holmes’ preliminary hearing, but as the trial was about to start he was nowhere to be found. Who can blame him. Tracy was either hiding out due to Nash or evading arrest on said drug charges. What gave me a chuckle is that Holmes had to change out of his jail clothes into a suit, only to be hauled back to jail an hour or so later. That asshole.
On the same page of that April, 1982 newspaper… you can go here to read about L.A. County Coroner Dr. Thomas Noguchi’s demotion regarding “unprofessional” comments about celebrity deaths. FYI – You have seen his name before… because Noguchi was the coroner for many, many dead celebs.

Who ever wrote that article is hilarious “blah blah pornographic film star John Holmes blah blah blah” Just say porn star John Holmes like everyone else! Or porn star Johnny Wadd Holmes is acceptible too. But pornographic film star is just too much.

It’s funny because porn was only at those PussyCat type theaters back then. Not many people had VCRs or tapes weren’t around for rental. We got a VCR in 1987.

I had gotten married in ’85 and one of our wedding presents was a VCR. There was this little video store down on the strip. The eighties didn’t have much in the way of movies so it was a shot in the dark as to which movie you walked out with…but the thing is, they had this little back room where they kept all the porn. Just kinda odd that with the advent of video, adult video was right there as the bastard cousin

I’m surprised that anyone mainstream even used the term “Johnny Wadd” when referring to Holmes. In that sub-culture, sure, It was expected…but I was just shocked when I heard that name for the first time. Not that I’m a prude or a psalm singin’ skinny old man,…it’s just the use of the word, “Wadd”.I wouldn’t think that would have gotten past the censors in 81. It’s not a name. It’s a thing. A name is an adjective. A noun is something you can touch,…(except for this particular noun. This noun you want to cut a wide berth around, then you’ll be sound as a pound…)
….But, if you think about it, we do have a muffin company with the name of “Otis Spunkmeyer”. (I bet the boys were yucking it up at the board meeting when they came up with that one….)
Reminds me of the drunk on Andy Griffith being a pornographic film star. Alcoholism,…porrn. Nary a couple of feet apart in some instances.
