I think Ethan is hinting at the fact that a great deal of successful musicians, songwriters and performers who make the grade on their own as a result of their own creative efforts and large fanbase...well, their work often bears little resemblance to the more orthodox songwriting sensibilities of a Jason Blume or even a Diane Warren. Many would utterly fail in "song school" but they have something very good nonetheless.
I also find that what Jason Blume does is financially successful, extremely difficult to achieve and worthy of great praise---he has a lot of talent...but his songs (sorry) bore me, and they DO appear derivative...
But he's certainly a success.

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
