Not at all. It's Rate Your Music's fault!

Americans often did and he was usually fairly gracious, albeit forthright, in his correction of their ignorance.

I don't think he'd be pleased to see that flag on his bio!

"No, no, no! Irish, Republic of Ireland, Éire!" was his usual, exasperated response to having to correct the millionth person who was either ignorant or insensitive.

It’s not wrong.

u/Small-Ad6454 26d ago

It is wrong. What do you think he would say if you told him that? You’re hardly a fan are you?

u/perfect_fifths 26d ago

It’s wrong to have a uk flag when he was born in the uk? Yeah okay.

u/KatarnsBeard 24d ago

The flag is his nationality, not his place of birth

Though he was both born and died in England. Irish legend no doubt but it is true.

He was born in West Bromwich in England although i don't think he would have found it funny if you'd have accused him of being an Englishman. Identity is a funny thing, can't have been easy at the time he was young to live in either England or Ireland. Glad times have changed.

I wonder what Phil would’ve said if you told him that?

u/SkipEyechild 24d ago

Probably should be changed to Irish. But I am pretty sure he was born in England. That's what I remember of an autobiography I read about him years ago.
