I think what a musician is different for everyone. Some want money. Some do it for music. Others, for attention. Most do it for any combonation of those. I don't like the idea of any superstar, musician, actor, sportsstar etc. being looked up to for moral guidance. Music changing over the past 10 years... in 10 years MTV has gotten quite popular and has, I belive, made pop music more about image than talent. I think that's a horrible thing, when a perfectly good musician has trouble making it because he doesn't look right, or cool, and then any jackass with cool clothes and a midget can make mad cash.
