Ed Nash Sends Holmes A Letter In Jail
This is strange. From jail, Nash sends Holmes a letter after his sentencing for having all of that cocaine in his house. He urges John to “tell the truth”, which to Holmes means “make up another story” and continue the ruse… pathetic. What he tells the grand jury to obtain his freedom is unknown and sealed. But, it would be the second group of lies, and probably the same set of lies that appear in his later autobiography. I recently saw that book at a used bookstore for like $2. I did not even pick it up, let alone look at it. It’s fiction. I should have moved it to the fiction section.
At his trial, John’s defense was that he was taken to the house “under duress” with a gun to his head. But in his book, “Porn King”, he says that he was kept at another house while the killings occurred, then he went to Wonderland later only to find the victims and their heads flattened, nothing left but slime or whatever the hell he said in his bullshit book.
Ok, I’m done for the day. Have at it!
That LMFAO Wonderland house video was strange. I wonder if those jackasses actually live there? scroll down the blog if you have not seen it yet.

yeah. what scum. how people still consider him a hero is beyond me . Attourney Coen stated that at the Grand Jury , Holmes said nothing of relevance to the murders . my questioned was why did he agree to to tje Grand Jury if he already spent 110 days in contempt for it. he didnt have to at that point. maybe to scare Nash?. anyways good stuff!

His pornography “groupies” for lack of a better word, will never accept anything less than what they believed him to be which was an awesome human being. Sounds crazy but it’s very true and very sad..
Jenn 12:32 pm on May 15, 2013 Permalink
Yeah, people like my ex who absolutely idolize this scum. And for what? I thought he looked gross naked myself but that’s just my opinion.
John 3:12 pm on May 15, 2013 Permalink
He is infamous, at least. I guess his fans or whatever do not truly understand the extent of his involvement. It’s similar, to a much less extent, for how the younger neo-hippies worship Che Guevara, that professor/student killing, piece of shit murderer! Karma’s a bitch and like Holmes, he got his comeuppance.
Jenn 12:31 pm on May 15, 2013 Permalink |
I agree with you. He is, was, and will always be a p.o.s. to me. My ex husband used to say that he was the next John Holmes and I was like “yeah, ummm, ok.” Just because somebody has a car doesn’t mean they know how to drive! Lol. Needless to say, the relationship was extremely short lived.

Well, John Holmes is a huge icon…So much so, that even his surname conjurs up a grin for most men out there who have seen a few pornos. I doubt that the phrase and others like “how’s it hangin Holmes?” would exist today without him hahaa

We bash a lot of people on this site, not just Holmes and his wife. So…. we also acknowledge that the other players involved in Wonderland were not heroes or angels either, but deserved better than that…especially the 3 women.

Yep no doubt about it, they were thieves, dealers and addict’s. Business would have carried on as usual on July 1 had they not befriended Johnny Wadd Holmes. It just astounds me Holmes could stand there and call them “dirt” after what he did.
To quote Sharon Holmes: “Conscience….not something he had”

i would say barbara richardson was probably the only relative innocent in this affair. holmes was indeed the amoral catalyst in the disaster but even the victims chose their fate in a sense by the lives they chose to lead and the company they kept. susan lanius and joy miller were older women who must have known very well what their men were into and, possibly, some of the unsavory things they did. richardson..what i’ve read about her at least…seems to have been a young lost soul who fell in with a bad man. she strikes me as a tragic case of “wrong time, wrong place”..

I paraphrase but what she said is so true…”When people hit rock bottom, they can usually dig deep down and find something to build on, John didn’t have anything to find anymore” –Sharon Holmes

That’s true. I do believe there is SOME good in people in spite of their addictions and life style. HOWEVER, with Holmes, I am having a harder time imagining good in him. They certainly were not angels and no, they didn’t deserve what they got.

the phrase ‘how’s it hanging holmes’ (or any phrase using ‘holmes’) has nothing to do with John Holmes.
‘homes’. Often spelt or pronounced as ‘holmes’, is short for homeboy

is the house for rent right now? we should ask thr lanlord to rent it for one night on june 30. for like $100 and have a small open tour for wonderland fanatics. 🙂
Jenn 12:32 pm on May 15, 2013 Permalink |
That would be kinda cool. 😉
localarts 1:03 pm on May 15, 2013 Permalink
Yeah, that would be neat. All the regulars on this forum could meet there on June 28, get up at 7:45 am on June 29 and make the drive to Nash’s place on Dona Lona then arrive back at Wonderland at 10:00 am and party Just like they did almost 32 years ago.

i was thinking the same thing as localarts. i’ve driven that route from dona lola to the wonderland house a couple times trying to get my mind around what went down that night.
John 4:40 pm on May 15, 2013 Permalink
If only we could! In high school I bought my uncle’s old 76 Ford Granada. The stolen car used by the gang was a 75. Same body style though…we could have all fit in the front/back seat! Seats 8 comfortably!
dreamweaverjenn 7:59 pm on May 16, 2013 Permalink |
John, I too was priveleged enough to own a lovely Ford Granada of the same era! Mine was a two door. It had been my grandmother’s and yes, it seated quite a crowd comfortably.
localarts 5:14 pm on May 15, 2013 Permalink |
John remember that 76 Granada would have to be running on fumes. Such was the case when Tracy McCourt weaved through the hollywood hills to Dona Lola. Ed Nash didn’t know it at the time but part of the loot was used to fill up that 75 Granada and buy the gang a carton of smoke’s.

Holmes was like a car wreck. For as unattractive as he was as a human being, there is just something morbidly curious about it all. Gotta figure, in the Wonderland DVD set, they included that film called, “Wadd.” A whole hour and a half movie about his life and career…which is kinda mind-boggling if you think about it. One movie makes him out to be slime and the movie included with it almost celebrates his dismal existence…of course, I ended up watching it…because it’s like watching a slow-motion car wreck. You just can’t look away. Even the woman doctor that gave him his psychological evaluation was smiling when remembering him…saying he was so nice and charming…and then adding, “he, of course, was a sociopath to the core.” Which is it, doc?
I’m with you, Jenn. I think he looks gross naked….or clothed. And what’s with the pinky ring? Geez. If this guy ever did one good thing in his entire life, I would almost give’em some grace. He left his wife, took his schlong on the road, founf an underage girl, stole like a thief, sold his girlfriend to slimey criminals to pay debts (and beat her when she got back home), got AIDS and still made movies while knowing he had it
But it can be said that he did do that nice commercial for Gatorade. That was a plus, huh?
