No, she is not. Penny Lane is based on San Diegan Geraldine Edwards, who was a friend of Cameron Crowes, who was also from San Diego, California. Pamela DeBarres is known to be the master of self-promotion and did make the statement that she was both the inspiration for Penny Lane and one of the inspirations for the Banger Sisters. It is true that the Banger Sisters was partially based on her groupie adventures. But, as it has been noted, DeBarres often takes literary license in her statements and books. Although she is entertaining, information she provides should be taken with a grain of salt.

Was geraldine Edwards Robert palmers girlfriend and the woman who dated Eric clapton rick springfield roger daltry and others the woman almost famous was written about?

Yes she was. Geraldine Edwards met Cameron Crowe in San Diego, California, in 1975 backstage at the San Diego Sports Arena. At the time Cameron Crowe was interested in being a Sports Writer and was a fan of the San Diego Gulls. Geraldine suggested that he widen his range and interview all types of people, including musicians. He took her advice and found that he actually preferred interviewing musicians. It was written in some articles that Pam DeBarres and Bebe Buell were partial inspirations for the Penny Lane character. That is not correct. Penny Lane was eighteen years old and a San Diegan who was a groupie who hung around the "World Famous San Diego Sports Arena." That was the history of Geraldine Edwards, not DeBarres and Buell. In addition to that, Cameron Crowe cited Geraldine's name as the inspiration for Penny Lane in an 2000 interview.

What is the interview process like at the ATandT Store?

Interviewing at the AT&T Store involves a two to three step process beginning with a phone interview with a recruiter. If you receive this call you are almost guaranteed a second interview after answering basic questions. During the second interview you will meet with the manager privately and answer more in-depth questions. You will then be contacted with a job offer or explanation of rejection.


Which interview did Tom Kaulitz say that Bill was his greatest gift?

It was on their birthday, when Tom was told to wish for something, and Tom said "I have nothing to wish for, the greatest gift I ever got was born 10 minutes after I was." The interview was the twins birthday party interview. The question was ' What has been the greatest gift you have ever gotten?' Tom answered " Bill." And Bill almost cried because he was so happy. I don't have the link, but I have watched it on youtube and its there somewhere. Hope that helped!

Can you refuse social service interview?

It depends on what it's for.Under some circumstances you may be allowed to refuse the interview, but if you do this will almost certainly be treated as if you had had the interview and answered all the questions in the worst possible way.At minimum, it will almost certainly result in denial of any future benefits; it may result in you being ordered to pay back benefits previously received, and you could additionally face criminal fraud charges.So even if you technically can, it's probably not a good idea.


How much does the media pay people to interview them?

It depends on the value of the person wanted for the interview. People wanting to promote a cookbook on their local TV station are almost never paid. Someone like 'octomom' might get a million dollars or more - as rumored.
