Music Thomas D: The One and Only Augustus Gloop of Hip-Hop
Feeling the Weight of Aging: Thomas Expresses His Fatigue of Growing Older - The Increasing Frustration of Aging
*An informal chat with the king of German hip-hop, Thomas D*
Hip-Hop royalty Thomas D ain't afraid to spill the beans about aging. "Old age? Call me Augustus Gloop! It's a living nightmare, man," grumbles the 56-year-old German superstar in the latest issue of "Playboy." "Nights are shorter than a girl's attention span, muscles are mysteriously absent, and finding the perfect pair of yoga pants is harder than cracking the Enigma code."
He's not alone in this aging jaunt: "The boys, Smudo, Michi, and And.Ypsilon, have been complaining about this since the Jurassic era. But now? We're all buckled up for the ride!" Thomas D, former resident of Stuttgart and current lair of Hamburg, shares as he sips his chamomile tea. The Fantastic Four—a quartet that revolutionized German hip-hop for the mainstream masses—have been rockin' it for 36 years under the same name!
Ranting about age aside, the band ain't going nowhere: "We've got our secret weapon, the Fanta Law. It ensures the band will never disband until I say otherwise—and I have the final say!" He chuckles, "If anyone ever thinks about partying ways, I've got a surprise waiting for 'em: the exit, my friend. But don't worry, we'll find a younger, better-looking, and more talented replacement. We're all vain, so it's bound to work."

The Commission, in considering the concerns of the aging band members about the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from such risks, given their dedication to their music career. As Thomas D reminisces about their long-standing presence in the music industry, he acknowledges the influence of science in the field of health-and-wellness, particularly in understanding and managing the effects of aging on their bodies.
