It doesn't mean their opinion is invalid, but it sure makes you stop to think for a minute.

1. Many people have talked about how tone-deaf this musician is, but the time stamp shows she probably didn't know of the fatalities. So I can't be outraged over on that account.

2. She is a musician and while not all musicians and artist (in fact very few) are obsessive and compulsive among other things like having aspergers. Since I am not a doctor I don't know if she has it or the exact percentages, I am sure they are more at risk of developing OCD traits. It could be literally one of just a few things she thinks about.

3. She probably has it insured. I don't think this is about the money at all. I think she might actually love that violin. I have hard copies of some poetry I have done, the paper it's printed on is just a couple of pennies and I have them stored electronically in a couple of places, yet I would be very sad if I lost my hard copies.

4. It's her profession and what she loves to do. Love and money drive a lot of people to do ill advised things.
