I think most musicians are reluctant to admit their true motivating factor: Chicks. We generally are sub par on the looks category and we want chicks we're not "entitled to". That is why a band generally starts going downhill when a member gets married. I've been married now 14 years and my band, Earth, Worm and Fire, has pretty much finally petered out. The other creative force (and far more talented) has been married 15-16 years. That is why I loop. I like playing funny music and making people laugh. But further, when you are a bass player/lead singer, it's hard to carry your upright to the local coffee house and sing and play and be very entertaining at all.
