Born on 5 January 1934 is a fact. I don't know how he could have played for the Queen of England??? He was 18 if that story is true. If he played for her at 10 years of age, it was 1942. And the Ramones were NOT named after Phil Ramone; he has never had any association with them.

Phil Ramone isn't big on telling people how old he is, but he is 73 years old. (born in 1934 as the entry claim). All Music Guide has a production credit for him in 1949, when he was 15, but I believe this is a mis-attribution, which is prevalent on AMG unfortunately. I can't figure out when he was born, but I don't think 1931 is correct. 69.180.223.22 22:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

How can the Ramones band be named after Phil Ramone when the band is actually named after the last name of the bands' members (johnny ramone, joey ramone etc.)

That's not the real names of the members of the band though, that was their stage names. However, I still agree that they weren't named after this guy. Even in the ramones entry on wikipedia it tells you that they were named after a pseudonym used by Paul McCartney. Cloudy 22:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
