    I’ve spent a lot of time honing a Robert Goulet impression, and frankly his death leaves me at a loss for a few reasons. I’m not sure if I should stop doing that impression for a little while now, out of respect. But I’m not really sure I respected him. On one hand, he was a great singer (for the first part of his career, anyway), but on the other, he really was a first class jerk.
