As an outsider I enjoy the musical talents of a wide variety of artists but do not know any pro musicians personally. What little I do read of them is that they're generally a bit crazy or perverted. Or both.

I think you're talking about artists vs. pro musicians. Artists are the ones whose names you know. Pro musicians are the blue-collar people who actually make the albums.

Have you had the opportunity to become casual friends with a bonifide rich and famous musician? Hopefully you have so you can provide interesting answers to my next questions.

Yep. Good friends, families are friends, I officiated at their wedding, kids play together.

Is this person in balance meaning that they may be able to create popular quality music but can't seem to tie their laces.
|
As balanced as any other person. Their perspective on what is normal is a bit skewed, but it seems like it would almost have to be, when everyone you meet treats you differently.

Does this person know their own shortcomings? Or does his ego completely ignore any personal weaknesses?
|
A little of both. They tend to have a decent sense of their character and personality short-comings, they tend to have a huge blind spot for their musical weaknesses.

Fame and money aside, would you like to spend time with this person?

Yep. We do.
