Man, its been fucking ages since I last you!
Man, I haven’t lived in England for 20 years - I now live in Brazil! Well, from my name you’ve probably guessed that I’m of Italian descent and Brazil has millions of people of Italian ancestry, probably even more than the Spanish and Portuguese. I also have family out there but I’ve lived there since 1998. Previously I was living in LA and that’s where I’ve been all this time - I came back to England for 3 weeks and hated it so I f%ked off back to LA. Most of my friends are Latin and despite being borne in London I am first and foremost a Latino.
So was it hard growing up then as a Latin kid in the East End of London?
Not as hard as growing up in fuckin LA in the 80’s! I tell you, those muthaf&*^kers hate anybody that doesn’t have money or even an English type name. If you’re not ‘Jones’ or something they treat you like a piece of shit. I was treated like garbage cos my name is Di’anno. Same with my friend - his name is Mercado. Even the Latino cops treat you bad man. It was and maybe still is a totally racist place. I even got shot in the leg while I was there (Paul shows me the wound in his lower leg)!

What about ‘Running Free’?
Running Free is about me as a kid. My mum ruled my life but she said to me ‘ you live in a shit area, but do what you can do and see what happens...as long as you don’t hurt anybody, just get on with it’. But I did get into trouble with the law a few times and that’s the only thing I wish I could change...the grief I gave my poor mama. I never really knew my real dad but my step dad was really cool. Sometimes he’d surprise us and walk
in when we were doing some speed but he’d just brush it off as long as it wasn’t heroin or the hard shit. I don’t have the same attitude with my kids though - if I catch em with anything I’ll kick the crap outta them.
it also sheds lights to Charlotte's idenity mystery.
So is the song ‘Charlotte The Harlot’ based on a real person?
Yep, its true. Her real name is High Hill Lil and she’s basically an old prostitute. Well, actually she was more of a slut ha ha. I mean, if you turned up to her house with some booze or some speed you were more or less guaranteed a lay. She was a legend in Walthamstow, everyone knew her...she was about 45 but a real rock out bitch..she’d take any guy from 15 upwards ha ha! The song says that she lived on Acacia Avenue but its
actually Markhouse Road, just before you go into Leyton cos thats the area where I lived.
the charlotte story is also mentioned at this mp3 interview at around 17 mins.
