Imho, that attitude was largely responsible for him comitting suicide:If it no longer matters what you do and the public's appreciation of your work doesn't change no matter how much of your heart and soul went into its creation, there's really nothing you can do anymore. It's a weird reversal of 'throwing pearls before swine'.</blockquote>
