The media luvs drama, especially when it involves over-inflated egos.

I'm glad he didn't die before the internet popularity hit. It must have been a nice final gift for him.
Reading further he did his thing to poke fun at the Soviet's censorship. Even if people didn't get that joke there is still no way to get around the infectious fun of "Trolololo"...and having it wind up as an earworm as one starts singing along.
It's like the oft-whistled "Colonel Bogey March": My summer campmates and I, back when I was a kid, whistled that while on long hikes. It was just fun! I didn't know the words to it but now I can see how subversive it is, especially after watching "The Bridge On The River Kwai".
Anyway, I can see how happy he was when he later found out that the world heard his song. What better way is there to go out of this life than realizing that most of the wired world knows your song? Even if one doesn't know the story behind the song I can't find any fault in how much silly fun it is. :-)
