Robert Goulet Will See You In Heaven, You Crazy Cat

We here at WDR are a big fans of the old style, as we often reminisce about our times growing up in the 50's, when times were good--no gays, no blacks, and no Jews, and that's how we liked it. Actually, that's a completely false statement, in every sense. But we are big fans of guys who can croon, and few could belt it out like the great Robert Goulet. Sadly, The Goulet died yesterday while awaiting a lung transplant, but at least he was in good spirits to the very end, as was his style. Goulet was not the kind of guy that would let disease get his bad self down.

We'll remember him for his smooth voice, his brilliant turn as the villain in Naked Gun 2 1/2, as Bart Simpson's showcase guest in his clubhouse, and his great basketball commercials (and possibly for being a spokesman for Emerald Nuts, though that's yet to be determined). Hell, The Goulets were the name of my fantasy teams for years. We'll remember you, kid.



Enjoy all the Cherry Pop-Tarts backstage as you want now, Goulet.
