"Idealistic nonsense" is exactly what a lot of great art is. Tons of great music gets made by people like me who don't make money off it. (Well, I did make $20 with my rock band Saturday night!) Some talented people also manage to make money doing music, I don't think money NECESSARILY corrupts the music. But surely the desire to make a fortune off of music is responsible for a great deal of garbage, whereas tons of great music gets made every day by people all over the world who make almost nothing from it. There is nothing "idealistic" about passion, and those who are passionate about making music will continue to do so, with or without the money. Passion and love of creating are just as "real" forces in people's lives as materialistic motives.
