The Buoys[edit]

In the original article, Holmes was listed as having been a member of the band The Buoys. Although he played on some of their recordings, he was never a member of the band, so I removed that reference. Rich 21:10, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Number of episodes of Remember WENN[edit]

This article says 64. The Remember WENN page says 56. By my count it was 13 in the first season, 13 in the second, 17 in the third and 13 in the fourth. That adds up to 66, right? The article says 56. Which is right? Monkey Bounce (talk) 07:13, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply] 

  13+13+17+13=(3*13)+17=56

He named one of his sons TIMOTHY???[edit]

...after the title character in his cannibalism song? This man scares me! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.99.104.234 (talk) 23:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, and you thought the *song* was over the top... (Rlongman (talk) 04:59, 10 January 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Religion[edit]

From time to time, in this article, someone makes an edit stating that Holmes is Jewish. That is not correct. His mother is not Jewish, he was not raised Jewish, and he has never practiced or identified himself as Jewish. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:56, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, as far as religion goes. He is half Jewish by blood, which is a casual way to say he is half Hebrew. With a name like David Goldstein, and a father named Leonard Eliot Goldstein, I can see where he might be mistaken by some as being Jewish. tharsaile (talk) 03:07, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update Needed[edit]

The article states his next book is slated for release in 2010. As it is now (as of this writing) mid-2015, I think someone who knows the fate of this work to update the article. Either it was released in 2010 (or some other year), has been postponed into some future year, or scrapped, and someone who knows more about it than I do needs to update this. (Perhaps I will check Amazon and come back, at least if it has clearly been published.) 76.111.27.52 (talk) 08:39, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Better Call Saul[edit]

He and his Pina Colada song was mentioned in Better Call Saul. 96.237.105.12 (talk) 16:16, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:TRIVIA, we should not add mere mentions. Unless, for example, the song was peformed, or the plot of the episode hinged on the discussion of the song, it should not go in this article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:17, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
