Well, it's interesting because it partially involves catalysts and how people respond to them. In theory, if an STS entity spent its life "playing nice" for the sake of living the rock star dream or whatever, while also making music that makes their fans happy, then I'd tend to think this is a net-positive relationship. The music is the catalyst, and their fans are (in this scenario) taking that catalyst and putting it to positive use.
That the STS gets the selfish rock star lifestyle they desire is, if anything, more of a second-tier byproduct of these generally positive interactions.
But then, personally speaking, I tend to think that music is an overwhelmingly positive form of energy exchange and that it's very difficult (although not impossible) to "corrupt" into a negative form. Music-making is an inherently collaborative activity, especially live music in front of a crowd, and I tend to think that collaboration is going to push the energies towards the positive side.
If anything, it might even end up teaching the selfish musician a thing or two about positive interactions.
