i have a day job and don't consider failed myself, ya know? so why would i consider ives to be "failed"  - - or mussorgsky, or myriad other people who have had families and day jobs AND did music.

(for that matter, most musicians who play for a living ARE doing a day job, they're not doing THEIR music, they're doing someone else's. some teach or write about music, it's all cool by me.)

the short answer: NO
