Before I refute your argument, can I ask did you believe Nixon, or
Clinton?

Just because they said they didn't do it, didn't mean they were being
truthful, did it?

Page, or Peter Grant did NOT look for a Daltrey lookalike to front his
Page's nascent band. Stevie Marriott at the time looked like a drug
wasted midget compared to Daltrey, and I suggest again you to check out
the cover of "Bang bang you're Terry Reid" to see what he looked like; a
spotty, scrawny, little boy.

The facts are quite simple. Led Zeppelin did not at any time look for a
Daltrey look alike. 

VH1 got it wrong; live with it, they're not infallible.
