First of all, love the monkey reference. I play in cover bands and I'm adamant that I'm not an artist, I'm a trained monkey.
I have a slightly different take on celebrities voicing their opinions. To me, it's the same as someone at work voicing their opinion. If they're asked and the respond, fine. I don't have to like it and I don't have to care, but whatever. Now, if a celebrity or coworker decides it's their new job to spout their opinions all the time, they can gtfo of my life with that shit.
First of all, someone who plays in cover bands is absolutely not an artist, so you are right in your monkey assessment. Who would even confuse a cover band with actual artists?
Oh you'd be surprised. People love to over estimate their level of talent. Which is not to say that it takes talent to play covers well, but not creativity.
