Pathalogical

I can't decide if I like the customers that are clearly pathalogical liars, or if I love them. They give us the opportunity to guess which parts of the story they are telling us might be true. Or we can just play pretend and believe everything they say, it's a good time for sure.
There's one guy we haven't seen in a while. He was a little 50 something year old white dude, grey and black beard, always wearing a baseball cap. Sometimes I see certain customers coming and I'll put on a certain album to shape my interaction with them. When this guy comes in I always make sure it's something heavy. This dude picked Sleep's Dopesmoker out when I had it on the first time I met him, so he had me intrigued from the get go.
He's got a pretty killer taste in music, he loves stoner metal and psych rock. I would turn him on to things like Goat and Bongzilla. He would tell me about Hawkwind and Sabbath.
He would start to recount cool stories about being a roadie on various hard rock and metal tours from the early 80s to the mid 90s. They would consistently get more outlandish, but I never questioned them. Next time he comes in i'll be sure to ask him what his favorite tour he worked was. I'll be sure to let you know.
I know some of his stories are not true, but, are any of them true? I choose to believe some are. We often discuss how much of our daily interactions are factual and how much is fabricated. I have no idea. But I'll keep guessing.
