Aerosmith, others ask Trump to stop playing their songs
The most recent copy of the letter was sent to the 2016 Republican presidential candidate on Saturday.
Apparently, Steven Tyler isn’t down with hearing Aerosmith’s “Dream On” as the official inspirational anthem at the GOP presidential contender’s campaign events. Tyler said it had nothing to do with Trump or his politics – he just didn’t want Trump using the song without his permission.
Trump was earlier advised not to use the ballad “Dream On” on August 21 during his campaign in Mobile, Alabama. The defiant billionaire continued using the song and walked onto the stage to Dream On at the “No Labels Problem Solver Convention” in Manchester, New Hampshire two days after Tyler’s letter, reports CNN.
Attorney Dina LaPolt noted that Tyler does not have any “political” or “personal” issues with Trump like Stipe and fellow liberal rocker Neil Young, but rather that he was upset that Trump did not ask permission.
Trump has suffered similar brunt on several occasions before this incident too.
Ironically, Trump was all praises for Aerosmith after attending a concert on September 3 and even took to Twitter to laud the band for its performance.
