Dream On: Aerosmith's Steve Tyler tells Donald Trump to forget about playing his song

New York: Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler has demanded that Donald Trump’s campaign stop playing Dream On, becoming the latest musician angered by the Republican presidential candidate’s choice of their song.

Tyler’s lawyers said that a Trump rally in Georgia on Saturday again aired the band’s 1973 smash hit, even though the musician sent a complaint in August.

The use of the song, famous for Tyler’s vocals that climax into screaming, “gives the false impression that he is connected with or endorses Mr. Trump’s presidential bid,” a new letter from the singer’s lawyers said.

The letter asked the Trump campaign to confirm within 24 hours that it understood it had no right to play Dream On.

“If Trump for President does not comply with our demands, our client will be forced to pursue any and all legal or equitable remedies which our client may have against you,” it said.

There was no immediate response from the Trump campaign.

This is not the first time that a musician has refused to let Trump use their song for his Presidential campaign.

The real estate mogul, who has soared to the top of the Republican pack in part through his virulent anti-immigration platform, earlier outraged Neil Young and R.E.M. with rallies that played their respective hits Rockin’ in the Free World and It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine).

But while Young and REM singer Michael Stipe are known for passionate left-wing views, Tyler’s politics are more ambiguous.

He attended a Republican debate in August as a guest of Trump, with a representative at the time saying that the singer wanted to work with politicians across the spectrum to advance causes such as copyright protection.

Such legal issues appeared to be foremost on Tyler’s mind in the letter, with the lawyers saying that the Trump campaign did not have a public performance license for Dream On.

But it turns that the letter hasn’t affected Trump much. 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.  

However, _Fox New_s reports that Donald Trump says he has patched things up with the Aerosmith frontman. “It’s all been worked out,” he was quoted as saying.

However, in case if Tyler insists on letting Trump ‘dream on’, here are some other songs that he can use for his campaign, perhaps.
