Caligula was also obsessed with the arts, and for some reason couldn't figure out that the Roman Emperor ranked higher than a clown or an acrobat. No offense to clowns or acrobats, I freakin' love clowns and acrobats, it's just that it's awkward when Emperors or Presidents care about what they say, and try to manipulate them into saying positive things when they couldn't care less (and it degrades their art to be inauthentic).
