George Michael teaches songwriting to the homeless?

I know this is supposed to be a feel good story. But this all just seems a bit bizarre to me....
Exposay:
George Michael helped homeless people write songs about poverty while serving his community service.
The 'Careless Whisper singer - who was sentenced to 100 hours service in June for being unfit for driving through tiredness and taking prescription drugs - gave residents a masterclass in songwriting during his time at London's St Mungo's homeless hostel last Monday.
One resident at the Euston shelter, Andrew Gilmour, told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "When he arrived, nobody knew who he was. He was in a baseball cap, shirt and trainers and spoke to anyone and everyone and didn't act special."
