You are entitled to your own opinions, and if it's your opinion that cultural imperialism is fine, that's your right. You aren't entitled to change facts however. The fact is, Led Zeppelin claimed writing credits to songs they later had to admit to not having composed. You can try to apologize for this by somehow claiming that this gave publicity to African American musicians, but I think that's a crock of shit. Wouldn't they have been giving those musicians far more publicity if they'd actually credited them in the first place, rather than having to change the record years or decades later after having profited from their lies and deception?
