Does setting matter?

I wonder, can a painter enter into his or her special mind-space if he or she is placed in a grunged public restroom? What about a poet? Could an lyricist feel the dynamic range of personal expression in a broom closet?

I'd say, for the majority of the time, it's hard to draw satisfying creative energy from a dismal setting.

Enter the musician. Imagine if you will, a music man. He finds himself confined within a dreary space, where laughter and clinking bar glasses dominate the soundwaves. A space where inhebriated individuals bellow their opinionated gambits sharply. A place where sensitivity has been trampled on. Can this music man create something beautiful in this environment?
