So, Robert Goulet dies, but Britney Spears, Oprah, Paris, Bon Jovi, etc. are still alive.

[Rabrrrrrr]

Fucking stupid universe.

[devilgrrl]

1. That links to a article about a CEO...

:crazy:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21552081/

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Very top line is "Breaking New: Robert Goulet"

[mark414]

2. more evidence there is no god

at least none that any of us has heard about

that or he's just a big dick

[matcom]

4. Hey, Paris wants to go to Africa someday

to "do good"

of course I fully expect her to follow Robert before that actually happens but you know...

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. "Ms. Hilton has decided that she will wait until she is finished with her slow march to death".

Yeah, I'm real curious to see when that useful-only-as-a-tea-bagging-recipient actually makes it to Africa for her "humanitarian cause".

:eyes:

5. Robert Goulet was a rising Broadway star in the early '60s...

...but, by the later part of that decade, he'd deteriorated into a lounge-singing caricature of himself.

He did a series of "made for TV" versions of stage musicals for ABC around '67-'68, and he was awful -- no matter whether he was doing Brigadoon or Carousel, he performed every song in a pseudo-Sinatra "ring-a-ding-ding" nightclub style. It was hideous -- the Broadway musical equivalent of Spinal Tap.

I never paid any attention to "Robert Goulash" beyond that point.

6. Thanks for ruining my evening

:-(

Robert Goulet was one of my first crushes when I was a little 12-year-old. (Yeah, I'm WAY over 12 now.)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Me, too. I LOOOOVED him in "Camelot." Played the LP over and over.

[Generic Brad]

8. My wife had never heard of him

I told her Robert Goulet died and she said, "Who's he?"
"Camelot," I sang.
"Camel-what?" she asked.
"Camelot. You know. Back in the sixties. How about 'Man of La Mancha'? "To Dream the Impossible Dream?"
"Doesn't ring a bell," she said.
"Maybe you saw him in a movie. He played a bad guy in one of the 'Naked Gun' movies," I informed her.
"Nope," she said. "I don't remember him".
"Well, anyway," I said, "he will be missed."
"Obviously," she replied. "I completely missed him when he was alive, so I'm sure I'll have no trouble missing him in death."

9. merrill lynch ceo walks away with an assload of money - that is sad

[fudge stripe cookays]

10. I wanted him to come mess with my stuff!

I bet Emerald Nuts is pissed right now. What a great campaign. Had anyone even heard of them before that?

:cry:

[Midlodemocrat]

11. You lumped Bon Jovi in with Britney Spears?????!!!!

Dude, I should kill you for that.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. I know, it's an insult to Britney, but I couldn't stop myself.

:hi:



:P

[Midlodemocrat]

14. .

:rofl:

Music aside, he is one hot looking man.

[driver8]

13. What's wrong with Bon Jovi?

The guy can write songs, is an amazing performer, and seems like a good guy. Don't put this guy in the same category as that lump of shit Britney Spears.

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. What's wrong? The songs he writes are shit, he's a boring cliche fuckwit performer.

Though yes he does seem like a good guy, if a bit of a poseur. Certainly a good liberal, except for the 'having integrity in art' part.

[Swede]

21. I heard an announcer say "Not only does he play ballads,he can really rock n roll."

I did a double spit-take on that one.

[spacelady]

27. You sound like a grumpy old man telling Robert Goulet to

Get Off His Lawn! ARRRRR!

[driver8]

35. Fucking music snobs...

I'm not a Bon Jovi fan -- I don't own any of his albums. But it seems to me that if the guy writes his own songs, puts on a good show for his fans, and is a pretty good guy (and liberal), there is no way in hell he should be lumped with that talentless twit Britney.

[Drum]

25. Kick...for Bon Jovi.

Don't be hatin', OP

[Maine-ah]

15. what did Oprah and Bon Jovi do to be lumped with Brit and paris?

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. Suck. Be just as fake.

I think that's enough.

[Taverner]

16. Mister Goulet was a bit older than the others....

It was to be expected

Now Lennon...that's a fucking tragedy

[BrotherBuzz]

19. Elvis has left the building, too!

[Left Is Write]

22. I'm very sad that Goulet won't be coming around anymore at 3pm to mess with my stuff.

[Ptah]

23. Ahem

[spacelady]

26. Thanks for the link Ptah & I liked the next one with Andy Williams

and Bobby Darin - "Can't Cheat An Honest Man" That man was built!

[Whoa_Nelly]

24. On A Clear Day...my favorite song as sung by him

:cry:



On a clear day

Rise and look around you

And you'll see who you are

On a clear day

How it will astound you

That the glow of your being

Outshines every star

You'll feel part of every mountain, sea and shore

You can hear

From far and near

A word you've never, never heard before...

And on a clear day...On a clear day...

You can see forever...

And ever...

And ever...

And ever more...

Robert Goulet...you were a very real shining star

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. My dear Whoa_Nelly...

I have never heard him sing this...

But just these lyrics made me cry too...

Thank you, sweetie...

I'm just an old softie... :cry:

:hug:

[Wapsie B]

29. Yeah, sucks big time.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

30. THAT'S SORT OF WHAT I SAID

when John lennon was killed... Only my comparison was -- John Lennon got shot but fucking Robert Goulet is once again unscathed.

Now... I am so sorry that Goulet died - I really like(d) him. I figured out that he had a sense of humor about himself and then... when he did the Emerald Nut commercial.. Well, I loved him all over again....

[Orsino]

31. This is the planet that jailed Sophia Loren and let Nixon walk. n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. Yes. And that executes a retarded person, but lets Ken Lay get by with a slap on the wrist.

And keeps a known war criminal as our "leader".

[AlCzervik]

33. Don't forget about Kissinger, he should have been in the perp box at the Hague

decades ago---bastard.

[madinmaryland]

34. Abe Vigoda is still alive!

[ohiosmith]

36. Prove it. When is the last time anyone saw him move?
