Frustrated with Aging: Thomas Expresses His Feelings of Discontent - Growing weary of the aging process
In a candid interview with "Playboy" magazine, Thomas D, a seasoned hip-hop musician, expresses his frustration with the realities of aging. "I can't stand getting older. It's a bummer," states the 56-year-old. "I toss and turn all night long, my energy's flagging, and every year seems to pack on a few more pounds. Used to be I'd hit the gym like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but now it's all about stretching, yoga--more like senior citizen antics than rock 'n' roll, if you ask me!"
He's joined by his Fantastic Four bandmates in expressing these sentiments. "Smudo, Michi, And.Ypsilon, and I have been grumbling about this for 15 years. And now that I'm feeling the same way, it's like we're all in the same sinking ship!" shared Thomas D, referring to the quartet of native Stuttgart residents who've made German hip-hop a household name for over 3 decades.
Despite the gripes about age, the band is committed to moving forward. "That's why I drafted the Fanta Law, stating the band will never disband. I've officially outlawed it. As long as I, the supreme leader, say so, the band will keep going! If anyone up and quits, I already have a line-up of young, more talented, and good-looking replacements ready. It's all about vanity, you see. It'll work because we're all so vain!"
