Singer Robert Goulet Dies

Robert Goulet passed on at age 73. He was waiting for a lung transplant.
I basically only know his name and face as a pop culture icon. RIP.

I swear, this is the most depressing off topic section on any forum I've seen. Every time someone of the most slightest significance dies, there just has to be a thread about it. There are so many other things you could talk about. I mean, you don't even know who this guy is, and neither do I. I really don't think this warrants a thread - you're not obligated to start them every time a "celebrity" dies as a sign of honoring them or something.

It's the "out there" aspect of it.

You want to talk about war? The crap is beaten out of it. I don't want to talk about Hilary or the Iranian President's visit a month or so ago. Funny how the price of a gallon of oil tripled in the last few years and that loony's country has a finger on the pulse of that commodity. We heard it all about house sales and foreclosures too.

Really, all I know of Goulet is that Will Farrell did a parody of him on SNL("GOUlet"). I don't know much about the actual Robert Goulet.

More of just a heads up, informative approach rather than a "I will dedicate my entire day today sending my condolences".

Anyway, RIP Robert Goulet.

Actually I saw a clip of him with Priscilla Presley so I immediatly recognized him from my one of my favorite films: Naked Gun. I also recognized him from the WTFudge humor of Will Ferrell doing an imitation of him on SNL. I hardly know him as a singer.

I've only heard of him from the casino episode of the Simpsons.
RG: you sure you're from the casino?
Bart: I'm from a casino
RG: eh, good enough

RIP Robert Goulet

I forgot that he was on the Simpsons. He definately had a good sense of humor.
