Aerosmith’s Stephen Tyler to Donald Trump: Cease and Desist Using Our Song on Your Campaign
Trump is apparently having a really hard time getting any of the musicians he wants to actually allow him to use their music on his campaign trail.
The latest rejection comes from Aerosmith front man Stephen Tyler warning against Trump for President’s use of the song “Dream On” at campaign events, twice.
This time, Tyler’s lawyer sent The Donald a cease-and-desist letter.
Via Associated Press:
The letter says that Trump does “not have our client’s permission to use ‘Dream On’” or any of Tyler’s other songs and that it “gives the false impression that he is connected with or endorses Mr. Trump’s presidential bid.”
The letter is the second time Trump has been warned to knock it off; Trump ignored the first warning from Tyler back in August and has continued to play “Dream On”.
And Tyler isn’t the only one.
Neil Young, a declared Bernie Sanders supporter, demanded Trump stop using “Rockin’ in the Free World” after it was played when Trump announced his run. Trump was also snubbed by R.E.M. with a cease and desist statement posted on Facebook after Trump used their song “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine).”
“The media and the American voter should focus on the bigger picture, and not allow grandstanding politicians to distract us from the pressing issues,” R.E.M. wrote.
Trump has enough money… Obviously it’s not about that. It’s just kinda sad he can’t find any musicians who will allow him to use their music for his campaign.

One possible way to prevent news stories like this one, here, is to recognize the difference between an entertainer and a moral authority, and request permissions from the record company, instead.
Electric guitar music is well and good. I just don’t feel that it entitles Tyler to opinions affecting my safety and well being.
Those vinyls, will now be trashed!
