[edit] bemused/Arctic Monkeys

"Although initially bemused by Trilby's success..."

Bemused means confused (basically). Is that what was intended? I know nothing of the man beside what I've read here, but unless he was for some reason really confused by the success of what he'd created, it feels more logical to expect the line to read that although initially amused by Trilby's success, he eventually came to despise...etc. It jumped out at me.
Also, would it be too vulgar to here mention, on some pretext or other, that the phenomenally popular British rock group Arctic Monkeys refers to trilby hats in their song "Fake Tales Of San Francisco"? One of the song's lines is, "There's a super-cool band, yeah, with their trilbies and their glasses of white wine".
