I also have pursued, studied and worked in other areas. I am a pilot,
Olympic level fencing coach, etc. But I don't make statements about things
in which I am not highly trained and/or experienced. I have eclectic
tastes in music and, for therapy after a long day living in my eyes and
brain, I put on music and cook dinner for my wife and daughter. But I would
never make dismissive statement to any of my friends who are chefs at some
of our best restaurants.nor would I make sweeping generalizations about
music to my friends who are accomplished musicians or my friend who is a
university professor in musicology.
The statement to which I think we all object is "film is dead, get used to
it". From what I have read in this thread, no one has taken exception to
his other statements or accomplishments. But by his statement about the
demise of film he simply has demonstrated his ignorance of, I say again, all
of the options available to the serious photographer working today. Sadly,
Nash's statement is yet another example of the old adage, "Better to be
thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

I don't get from that the same negative stuff that you others are getting.
I don't get the sense of arrogance. If you are sitting in piles of a life
time of success and continued success it is not arrogant to consider
yourself successful. He has been well known in photography for decades.
He has a bad hip from a camera hanging on it! A person can excel in more
than one thing in life. Music is definitely related somehow to photography,
look how many photographers were once musicians. I myself was a music major
in college before going to photo school. All the creative arts are related
by being expressions of human creativity. When I have run into a slump of
ideas in photography I have re inspired myself by drawing or doing ceramics
or painting or playing music. It all is from the same creative spot. Nash
is a big fan of Digital photography, that doesn't make him stupid or
arrogant or in any way wrong. It is just what he loves. There are a hell
of a lot of people who see it just like he does. There are a lot of
photographers who's work I don't like and don't respond to. It doesn't make
it bad necessarily, it is just not what I like.

What has always puzzled me is why a person like Nash and many of the people
who admire his music think, just because someone is exceptional in one area
( music), that they have any bloody idea what they are doing or talking
about in any other area of endeavor? Having photographed many people who
were at the top of their field for INTERVIEW and some of the European Vogues
from the late 70s to the early 90s, I actually found the opposite to be
true! Because they focused so much of their energy and time being great in
one area, they were often underdeveloped in most others! This is obviously
the case here! He obviously has no knowledge of the options available to
serious photographers working today. But people will listen, read, and
quote as gospel.
I found a few exceptions. One of the most intelligent, learned, young (at
that time) people that I ever photographed was Jodie Foster! She had a
razor wit, great sense of humor, a deep knowledge of philosophy, spoke
perfect French, etc. and she made everyone around her feel comfortable. She
was just great fun to photograph!

My question is, would his photography be "famous" and "in demand" if he
weren't a rockstar?

Of course he's arrogant--he's a rock star, albeit something of a has been.

I was very excited about going to see his show in San Juan Capistrano until
I read all the way through this interview. Way too much arrogance; "Film is
dead, get used to it". Really?
