Liam Howlett Interviewed by Dazed + Lots of Jilted Generation Information

Over at dazeddigital.com, Tim Noakes has interviewed Liam Howlett. It’s a must read for all Prodigy fans! Here is a preview:

Tim: You just mentioned Charly. How much of you career do you owe to that cat?

Liam Howlett: He’s had his money’s worth out of me. I was a complete acid head when I wrote that shit. I made it to play in my car after a night out. We’d all be tripping and I’d stick it on and just watch their faces in the mirror. It would do their heads in. It was a wind up. I just did it to make my mates laugh but then it took off and went somewhere else. Americans tried to read some deep meaning into it. They didn’t get it because they didn’t know who Charly was. Americans didn’t get it until the third album. Clueless, fucking clueless.
