"My intent was not to make a political statement, but to make one about the rights of my fellow music creators," the Aerosmith frontman writes.
Steven Tyler went head-to-head with Donald Trump last week over the presidential candidate playing Aerosmith's "Dream On" at his campaign events, and now the frontman has put his concerns into writing -- and his issues with Trump might not be exactly what you're expecting.
On Wednesday, Trump tweeted that he wouldn't be playing the Aerosmith song anymore since he found a "better one to take its place," and Tyler followed up the incident with an op-ed Thursday (Oct. 15) on The Huffington Post. Tyler says his concerns with Trump using his song are not about politics, but fair compensation.
