These girls give him advice for the scene and help him get in.  Penny Lane says "We are not Groupies. Groupies sleep with rockstars because they want to be near someone famous. We are here because of the music, we inspire the music. We are Band Aids."]]> 2023-04-03 21:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/s162508/vkvdhqys67ysdp59/wish/2542779419 s162508 https://padlet.com/s162508/vkvdhqys67ysdp59/wish/2542785977 After his successful article on Black Sabbath, he gets a call from Rolling Stone to travel with the new band 'Stillwater' to be the journalist for their tour.

Penny Lane really makes sure he feels welcome and Russell takes him under his wing. Everyone views him almost as a little brother. ]]> 2023-04-03 21:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/s162508/vkvdhqys67ysdp59/wish/2542789206 s162508 https://padlet.com/s162508/vkvdhqys67ysdp59/wish/2542790034 William's mother is very hesitant on him going on the tour at first and doesn’t want him to go, but ultimately lets him with strict conditions. She is very overprotective and doesn't allow much in the house. This already has caused William's older sister to move out at the beginning of the film. He must learn how to live in the new world of rock and roll.
