The Zeitgeist says that art is an exalted, an unusual thing, shining like A Brain surgeon in a soap opera...and yes, fame does tend to create drama... but still, this conception is fundamentally rong.  Billions of people sing, write, do God knows what else. The commercial subset of all this activity may average out technically less constrained than the art of the average neighbor, but that is not an essentail difference. Art is really folk art, with commercial and academic art beholden to second masters.
