Growing old: Thomas D expresses frustration and dissatisfaction with the process - Fed up with the process of aging
Hip-Hop artist Thomas D isn't too keen on the reality of aging. "Aging, man, it really grinds my gears," the 56-year-old laments in the German edition of "Playboy." "I can't catch a decent night's sleep anymore, strength dwindles, and every year it's just more gut. Back in the day, I'd hit the gym like Arnold Schwarzenegger used to pump iron. Now, it's all about warming up, stretching, and doing some yoga. That ain't exactly the rock 'n' roll vibe I used to have. More like a senior citizen center!"
He ain't alone in the Fantastic Four: "The other three — Smudo, Michi, and And.Ypsilon — have been griping about this for 15 years now. And here we are, in the same boat," Thomas D explains, a resident of Hamburg. These four lads from Stuttgart have transformed German hip-hop for public consumption and have been churning out tunes together for 36 years under the same moniker.
Despite moaning about the years catching up, the gang's all out to keep the show on the road. "That's why I've created the Fanta Law, which states the band can never, ever split. I've officially banned it. The band exists as long as I, the dictator, say so! And if anyone ever gets serious about it, I've got a plan. 'Here's the door, buddy. And now, we'll just bring in someone younger, better, and more handsome to take your place.' We're all a bunch of vain bastards, so that'll do the trick."

The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers, including Thomas D, from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation in science labs, given the rise in health-and-wellness concerns associated with aging, especially in the music industry, as Thomas D laments the effects of aging on his night's sleep, strength, and vitality, echoing Arnold Schwarzenegger's concerns about maintaining a youthful physique even in his later years, as a resident of Hamburg.
As Thomas D fights against the physical effects of aging, it's important to prioritize science-backed approaches to longevity and wellness, such as radiation protection and age-defying workouts, to ensure the health of artists like him and preserve the vibrant music scene for future generations.
