You make some very good points, but please do not lump everyone else into a
less dedicated stereoptype. My husband is not a musician, but always drags
his sick butt into work. His colleagues depend on him, and when he is not
there they suffer, and the work does not get done. There is no "substitute"
they can call to replace him, either. His vacations are planned extremely
carefully around projects (as we have to do around gigs). He comes home,
takes strong doses of cold medicine and passes out in bed so he can get up and
do it again the next day.

I think once you are at the top of many professions, this same responsibility
comes, not just for good musicians.
