Well I'm sure a lot of clubs open and fail. But one has to assume that if you are opening a club, you have already been successful somewhere else. There is a much greater portrayal of starving musicians than there are starving club owners.
It clearly follows that if you were not elsewise successful, and able to buy a club, your cousin Vinny has gifted this club to you in an offer that you simply could not pass up.
Failing as a club owner almost directly implies that you failed in a secondary, non-career pursuit. The only way you can really starve in that situation is if you are a complete moron and actually invested your own money.
Millions of guitarists, however, go hungry in the streets every day.
Besides if you've taken out a loan to get the club, are you really a club owner? It seems like you are a proprietor most.
Besides, the point of analogies is that they be based on easily falsifiable things that /seem to be/ true. An analogy is a metaphor. You know, literature fluff.
This comparison doesn't /seem/ to be true, whether it is or not.
I understood the point of the article to be what it takes to be a successful club owner vs a successful guitarist and in that regard I think it worked even if the analogy is very rough around the edges.
