Now that's a fine line Jimmy, I guess it would depend on the intent. Is it stealing, or paying tribute? Rock is full of "borrowing" from it's blue roots weather it's lyrics or guitar riffs. On one hand it's a shame that guys like Howlin Wolf, John Lee Hooker or Robert Johnson probably died poor, while Clapton and Page etc all became millionaires based in no small part on their influence.
But, I don't think there was any disrespect or thievery - just the opposite actually.
