Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler has once again told President Donald Trump to stop using the band’s music at rallies. After Aerosmith’s “Livin’ on the Edge” was played at Trump’s West Virginia rally Tuesday, Tyler’s legal team sent the president a cease-and-desist letter for using the song without permission, the second time Tyler has had to do so. While Trump was campaigning in 2015, Tyler sent a cease-and-desist to Trump for using Aerosmith’s “Dream On” at his rallies. The new letter stated, “By using ‘Livin’ On The Edge’ without our client’s permission, Mr. Trump is falsely implying that our client, once again, endorses his campaign and/or his presidency, as evidenced by actual confusion seen from the reactions of our client’s fans all over social media.” It should be noted that the letter comes directly from Tyler, and not the band collectively, as Tyler’s bandmates, Joe Perry and Joey Kramer, are Republicans.
