She sits there. Curls in a bundle, blowing softly across her neck. Back and forth they go. She takes a sip of her tea. Waiting. Then slowly she looks up and it all starts again.

Title: The Worlds Lost Girls: The Greatest Groupies of All Time.

Interview #4: Penny Lane

Background: Once considered the greatest groupie of all time. P. Lane disappeared from the rock n' roll world 3 years ago, leaving behind her wild ways. Lane has had multiple songs written about her by such artists as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, the Beatles, Stillwater, Gram Parsons, the Who and the Rolling Stones. She currently lives in Los Angeles, California. She is 19 years old.

RS: So Penny Lane, is it? Now, if words correct you've been gone from the rock world for almost 3 years. Why is that? The good times turn bad?

PL: I was told that William Miller was to be conducting the interview. Now I don't mean to be impolite, but I agreed to this under the conditions that he would do it. If he's not going to be here then I'd prefer not to do it.

RS: Unfortunately William had to go home for some type of family emergency. He warned me that you may be hesitant to do the interview. But he promises that he is going to review all the information and publish only what he feels to be appropriate. Also he has allowed, why I don't know, that you will have to sign off on the story before it's published. Thereby allowing for you to choose what is printed.

PL: Well in that case. I guess I'll continue. Let's see, you asked why I left the world. Well I just had other priorities that were more important to me then a party and another long flight across the globe.

RS: What priorities would that be?

PL: I'd prefer not to disclose that at the time.

RS: Later perhaps then. How would you describe your time traveling with some of the greatest rock bands in history?

PL: Magical while it lasted. I wouldn't want to do it again though. I was young then and didn't have very many cares. There is an aura of freedom while you're on the road with your favorite band. That all is possible, this crazy vibe of excitement. It's all very liberating. Maybe too much so.

RS: Your only 19, if I'm correct. Not old at all. Now let's see. What was your favorite moment being a groupie? Any one time that pops in your mind.

PL: That a very hard question. There were a lot of good times. The moment's rights after a show finished were always the best. The excitement that filled everyone, the things they'd do. Madness.

RS: What kind of things?

PL: Some shocking, some not. Just depends what you're used to. Mostly a lot of drugs and booze. Makes people do some silly things. I'd prefer not to reveal too many details, though. Not my place. Wouldn't want them talking about some of the things I've done.

RS: Come on just tell me one story.

PL: Fine I'll give you a story but its going to disappoint. Once while on tour with the big bad stones, we went to a local park near the gig they were supposed to play in Atlanta. While there we crashed a 5 yr old girl's birthday party. Her name was Melinda, I believe. Well Mick and Keith had brought their guitars with them so they spent the whole entire day singing nursery rhymes to all the kids there. It was awesome seeing these big "scary" musicians with unicorns painted on their faces singing kiddy songs.

RS: That doesn't sound too exciting.

PL: See that's the thing about the scene. Yah there are all these wild and crazy parties, but it's the small mellow things you remember. Parties have a tendency of blending after awhile. It all starts to become the same thing.

RS: Now Penny, I'm afraid I am going to try and ask that question one more time. Why did you leave the rock n' roll world?

PL: If it's that important to you to know. Here it is. I had a child.
