What is the advice given to him by his father ?

´Paul, they won´t give you A for effort?´


Is that it ?

I still do not understand it. Can someone explain what it means? Thanks.

My interpretation:

Paul had obviously put a lot of effort into his song, and couldn´t understand why it wasn´t a hit. His Dad was saying that the music industry does not reward effort on it´s own (no ´A Grades´ just for effort), else everyone would be a star. He had to start writing songs that were hits too...

Maybe he should listen to his father´s advice again?
