The sun: even more beautiful. Subject: Re: [Yello] Boris Blank's age Well, Here's my take on his age: for me, it is not important. What is important is the fact that he was born, and creates the music that we all love! I hope that he continues to do so for many many years to come! as an aside, I also think that the both of them have aged VERY well! Dieter still looks slim, trim and Healthy (a good sign for more good stuff to come), and carries himself with as great distinction as any dignified man should! I would chalk that up to his time he spends at Ojo de Agua (or however he spells his ranch in Argentina). Plus being born into a well-to-do family doesn't hurt. Farming is hard work, and in most cases (except for growing poppies or cannibis sativa [sp?]) is not the most lucrative endeavor. It is more a thankless labour of love. On the other hand, my take on it is that Dieter does it as a hobby; Hobby: Noun - the work we do when we're not doing the work we're paid to do :) Hobbys are fun and fun keeps us young! Boris has also fared well with age, but shows signs of being at the studio a lot (a somewhat sedentary lifestyle) I don't know about sedentary. I recall from an article recently that he swims every morning. from what photos I have seen recently, and still looks to be in his early to mid 30's, though recent info pegs him at mid 40's to 50's. I first noticed the difference between the young Boris and the present-day one in the video for Squeeze Please. A little thicker around the middle, perhaps? But none of that matters! The Music's the thing! Long Live Yello! Laurens van Graft The Grip Guy All your gymnastics grip needs right here! Abolish Daylight Savings Time; it's past its usefulness, and I'm tired.
