Lip-syncing and other fakery

[Jerome]

man you guys are bringing back the memories
those were the days
can't say it was a dead end job as it was a stepping stone in my career
got paid by the week and I was off to the record store after the check was cashed
actually had disposable income back then as marriage was yet to happen
I would pick up 4 or 5 albums every week and was immersed for the weekend

Sounds exactly like what I used to do. 'Immersed' is the right word. The outside world did not exist once I had a new piece of vinyl on the turntable.
