Agreed. However, many musicians are not and they are very influential in that. I remember when Dave Matthews was in his heyday, he says he could mostly just walk down the street like normal but not if he surrounded himself with an entourage and dressed up like a celebrity.

Yep they can often blend right in if they want to. One time my friend was in an ordinary rock club in Seattle standing in a group of people waiting to talk to the (popular-but-not-mega-famous) musicians who had just finished their set. Next to him is an unassuming, nebbishy guy with glasses waiting politely. The musicians eventually make their way to this fan, he starts talking and out comes this deep baritone voice... turns out it's fucking Eddie Vedder.
