I struggle with that. I'm pretty sure Miles Davis, Buddy Rich, Frank Zappa, and Prince were/are perceived as pretty much assholes. Note that this is also a list of some of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Not necessarily a cause/effect relationship, but I think of it as kind of the "House" thing--when you are really good at one thing, "people skills" might not be your focus.
