aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghahahahahahah
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa,
you are hilarious you horrible little man

Hahaha, I just saw this on the front page. What has he released?

Ah, Paul Holmes, great album man......

"I just wanna lie, a lie, a lie, a lie in the sand...." it has tropicana all over it, Paul you should wear a Hawaiian T-shirt on every show......

ahahaha I'm so glad that he finally spoke his mind, I've been wanting him off TV for soooo long. He may have had a cool afro back in the day, but quite frankly he's passed his use by date, his interviews suck. hes an idiot

yeah my mum picked it up for $4.99 at the Warehouse... BARGIN. Given he shouldn't of said his comments his apologie was pretty heart wrenching and besides it did him good, look at the publicity the man got, the whole of NZ is talking about the man which proabaly would have been the secret motive behind his rude comments. Nice work Holmsey

the best song on the album, in my opinion, is 'Where Do You Go, My Lovely?'

Apparently, floating around the interweb, there is a house remix of the "cheeky darkie" comment. Oh hooray, another lame meme.

what is this

"Any project I want to undertake, I will. And I'm certainly not going to go to the grave wishing I had done something and had not done it because I worried about what the critics might say."

Paul Holmes, believed to be the highest-paid employee at TVNZ. But no one can argue that Holmes is this country’s premier broadcaster. Nothing to do with TVNZ, of course, but his network radio show is the most-listened-to in the land. Viewers/listeners = ratings = advertisers = revenue. That’s why Paul Holmes can name his price and, given those figures from the business pages, TVNZ can - in fact, has to - pay it. Because he’s worth it to them. For viewers who were confused, Paul Holmes has been away. The publicity machine that has heralded his return can grind slower now the current affairs king has resumed his television throne. Dapper in a black suit and shirt last night, Holmes looked surprisingly nervous and a little breath-less as he began his first show in many weeks. That may be true, but Holmes has been willing - for whatever reasons and whenever possible - to lay himself bare to the New Zealand public. And the TVNZ publicity wallahs are happy to drive the machine in pursuit of Holmes' good name, and their ratings. But Holmes is back where he apparently wants to be: in front of a camera or behind a microphone. Television's most controversial personality, Paul Holmes has changed the face of news reporting in this country. His Award Winning programme, The Holmes Show has the greatest overall viewing ratings in New Zealand and if that's not enough his breakfast show on Newstalk ZB is the number one breakfast show for news in New Zealand. Paul can always be counted on to bring the "peoples" viewpoint to any interview or discussion. He is well qualifies to do so. After completing a BA at Victoria University Paul joined the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation in 1972 as an announcer in Christchurch. For much of the seventies he worked in Britain, Europe and the United States. Since returning to New Zealand in 1985 his rise has been dramatic, first as host of the morning talkback show on 2ZB in Wellington then as host of the new breakfast session on Newstalk 1ZB when the format was changed overnight. Now the top rated show host on New Zealand radio, Paul Holmes has won several awards including Best Talk Host (International) and Best Talk Personality (Australian) at the 1989 Annual PATER Awards for International Broadcasting. Controversial, unorthodox, outrageous, Paul Holmes is the person people love to hate. Whether it's his well publicised personal life or his penetrating interviews Paul remains New Zealand's best known media personality. His humanitarian projects sometimes go unnoticed but Paul is much loved by the many New Zealanders who know the man behind the mask. It's out on November 24 and it’s already picking up airplay on at least one high-rating radio station. Paul Holmes’ long awaited album, that is. Simply but elegantly titled Paul Holmes, the debut offering by the broadcaster extraordinaire features 13 of the man’s favourite tunes - most of which date from the 70s or before. They include Eric Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight, which he played on his wireless show the other day, and Hello Sailor’s Lyin’ In The Sand which will be the summery local quota-pleasing first single. The rest includes Fire and Rain (James Taylor), Sundown (Gordon Lightfoot), Witchita Lineman, By The Time I get to Phoenix (Glen Campbell/Jimmy Webb), You’ve Got A Friend (Carole King) Where Do You Go My Lovely, Frozen Orange Juice (Peter Sarstedt), and Last Thing on My Mind (Tom Paxton). None of the original writers could be reached for comment on the honour of their songs’ inclusion on what is sure to be a milestone in New Zealand recording. News that Paul Holmes is recording an album has been greeted with derision in some quarters, but the collector’s group of Vanity Incorporated Products can’t wait until this album - apparently including such classics as Witchita Lineman hits stores in time for the lucrative Christmas market. Not because it’s especially welcomed for its own sake but some are seeing it as a valuable addition to a somewhat forgotten musical genre: albums by people whose careers might have wisely remained outside the recording industry. In this country vanity projects such as the Holmes album (I don’t want to go to my grave without having made a CD) have been infrequent. Singing seems to have been, somewhat wisely critics believe, left to singers.

It seems no-one's appreciated Paul Holmes for a while. Thought he needed a trip to the top of the artist forums.

I have his album. How do I post it here?
