My point is, if for some strange reason, we find out that Beethoven just wrote the 9th Symphony for cash, or F Scott Fitzgerald wanted to strike it rich, so he wrote The Great Gatsby, does it diminish the end product?

I think that we are prone to believe that the more inaccessible an artists work is the more validity it has. I don't think its really relevant to question an artist motives for creativity, even though in many cases they're easily apparent. Musicians rarely sell out. More often than not its the industry and the media that does it for them. I don't think there is a damn thing wrong with wanting to make money with what your good at. Even in music. Music fans tend to be more elitist than we care to admit to. We want artists to be popular enough to have a following but obscure enough to be esoteric. I think an artist only obligation is to his own muse and sense of artistic license. If they betray their own sense of artistic integrity then that is selling out.
