NYPD

The article says that Money was a New York City policeman for two years, citing an AP obituary, which in turn cites Money's website. It then immediately says, citing a People.com piece from 1980, that he moved to California in 1968, when he would have been 18 or 19. He could not have become a New York City policeman at age 16 or 17. The People.com piece also states that Money "was briefly a New York City police trainee himself before dropping out". The NY Times obituary states "Mr. Money, the son of a police officer, was headed for that career himself when he dropped out of the New York Police Academy to move to San Francisco in pursuit of rock stardom." It thus seems unlikely he spent two years as a New York City policeman. MayerG (talk) 00:37, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

The New York Post has actual reporting about this issue: https://nypost.com/2019/09/13/nypd-clears-up-eddie-money-cop-mystery/. The Post quotes the NYPD as confirming that he was a trainee, but never an actual police officer. That's what the article ought to say, as well. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 05:48, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
Removed from article:
His policeman father was always disappointed Money quit the NYPD (before becoming an officer), even after he'd succeeded in music. “I played Madison Square Garden with Santana and Cyndi Lauper and my father comes to the show and was still pissed off I quit the police,” he said. Money was on the Police Academy waiting list "when he got cold feet." “I couldn’t see myself in a police uniform for 20 years of my life, with short hair,” he later said.[1]

Further explanation merited in bio section. Big part of his persona, how he was viewed (always was with me) -- former New York cop who becomes rock star.--Artaxerxes 16:56, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Judy Davis

The link goes to Judy Davis, the actress, rather than to Judy Davis, the vocal coach that Eddie Money studied with. There is no Wikipedia article on her, but she was well-known in the music business, and there is a New York Times obituary for her that could be linked. I do not have the expertise to do this myself, and am making note of it here. Alloy (talk) 21:08, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

I deactivated the incorrect link. This brings up the question of whether a citation is needed for this statement. Judy Davis might have mentioned Eddie in one of her interviews, and that could be linked to. Alloy (talk) 21:15, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Ok. Here is an article on Judy Davis where she talks about taking him on. I will see if I can figure out how to link it. https://people.com/archive/vocal-plumber-judy-davis-unclogs-the-pipes-of-even-streisand-vol-16-no-1/ Alloy (talk) 02:56, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
