How 'bout them Beatles? Didn't they get their inspiration from black musicians from the US? The whole British Invasion was predicated on early rock and roll from the Fifties. To say nothing of the "Skiffle" movement and Lonnie Donegan stealing Leadbelly's licks.

Even Carnaby Street reflected the dress of the early "hippie" community of San Francisco.

We even went so far as to support Andrew Lloyd-Weber and for this abuse we should easilly get a medal.
