Entrepreneurs are the new rock stars. I may not be the first
to draw that analogy and entrepreneurs will not be the last group to be
allegorized in this way; TV chefs , footballers and even scientists have all
had a similar comparison made. “… are the new rock-stars” is the vocational
equivalent to fashion’s “… is the new black”. Rock stars are the benchmark of
wild and glamorous. Rock stars have to beat the girls off with a sweaty guitar;
rock star means success in excess.

There was a time when every teenager wanted to master the
guitar, synthesizer or a pair of decks and play Wembley, Shea or headline
Glastonbury. There was a time, and not so long ago, when teens wanted to be
getting the action that Steve Tyler, Robert Plant or Tommy Lee were
getting. But, now instead of a band many
bedroom barons are trying to form a plc.
