Steven Tyler is the latest artist to tell Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump not to use one of his songs on the campaign trail. And even though he’s a huge fan of the rocker, Trump is acting unfazed by the diss.
Trump has used Aerosmith‘s “Dream On” during various campaign events, but Tyler’s camp recently took legal action to make sure it never happens again. On Oct. 10, a second cease-and-desist letter related to usage of the song was sent to Trump for President Inc.

Even though I have the legal right to use Steven Tyler’s song, he asked me not to. Have better one to take its place!

Steven Tyler got more publicity on his song request than he’s gotten in ten years. Good for him!
