Oh, duh, of course!

Why is that?

People who want doodles seem to be completely unaware that they can just have a poodle and not clip and frizz it into a topiary. And that if they leave the poor dog alone it will be a cheerful, bouncy companion.

Oh no, he identifies with an unambitious second-rate songwriter killed by a random drunk, known to the world because a first-rate songwriter wrote a song about him. Somehow that makes sense.
