Trump Still Using Aerosmith Song After Steven Tyler Issued Cease-and-Desist Letter
Ever since campaigns for the U.S. presidential race started, many personalities have taken a hit against Donald Trump for various reasons, but this time, rocker Steven Tyler has taken a huge step against the business mogul for "copyright" issues.
According to The Associated Press, Tyler sent a letter to the Republican frontrunner on Saturday, asking him to cease from using his band's hit song "Dream On" during his campaign meetings and rallies.
The letter was from Tyler's attorney, Dina LaPolt, and it stated that Trump does "not have our client's permission to use 'Dream On'" and other songs by Tyler's famous band "Aerosmith." While LaPolt's letter said the businessman's use of Tyler's music is not a "political" or "personal" issue, she made it clear that it "gives the false impression that he [Tyler] is connected with or endorses Mr. Trump's presidential bid."
What made the issue catch the attention of the media and other non-Trump supporters is the fact that two days after the letter was issued, Trump used "Dream On" during his entrance walk at the "No Labels Problem Solver Convention" held at New Hampshire. He also said a few minutes before he stepped out for his speech that the issue has been resolved on Monday.
CNN reportedly asked for his comments on the issue with Aerosmith, but Trump simply said everything has been resolved and did not offer any details when asked if Tyler, who is a registered Republican, has come to an agreement with the Republican.
It is worth noting that just last month, "R.E.M." frontman Michael Stipe also condemned the top Republican presidential candidate when he used "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" for his campaign trail.
Aside from his co-presidential candidates slamming the comments he throws their way, Trump is also known for picking on Neil Young after he asked the billionaire to stop playing "Rocking' in the Free World" for his events.
