Today's Morning Edition music is from "Dream On" by Aerosmith, a song that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been playing during his recent campaign stops.
But Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler wants that to stop.
On Saturday, Tyler's lawyers sent a cease-and-desist order to the campaign, which says that playing the song at rallies gives the impression that Tyler supports Trump's presidential bid.
Despite the order, "Dream On" was played again at a campaign stop in New Hampshire on Monday.
Neil Young, R.E.M. and now Aerosmith have all publicly called on the Trump campaign to stop using their music without permission.
