Great to find Americans who love SAHB.
Huge fan, Scotland’s greatest ever band along with Nazareth and Stone the Crows.

I really don’t know much nor care about celebrities, but I did have an image of this creature in my mind. Is he friends with Olympian Bruised Gender?
And please excuse my typo: “sexted” should have been “sex”.
Maybe Trump can switch it up to nin - Big Man With A Big Gun! lol
They suck anyway, hate their music, Trump can get so much better.....(I love Odessy’s “Native New Yorker”, too bad their singing about a woman).
Just saying the boys might be missing the big picture here.
And yes, they still rock. America's greatest rock band: AEROSMITH.
I only have a murky understanding of how this happens. I remember hearing about related disputes. It’s something like that though, the publisher deal is not in perpetuity. I’ve heard terms like 40 years bandied around, so a song that was published in 1975 would be on the verge of such an event today.
Thanks for the whole story. I just heard a sentence or two from Rush one day briefly explaining the event.
Screw Aerosmith. I’ll bet there’s alot of performers than would jump at the chance to create some music for Trump. Where’s Lee Greenwood these days?
Love SAHB
"Permission" is granted through licensing. There are now no less than 46 different types of licenses available to people who want to use published music.
My best friend is a music publisher in Nashville and said he's fairly certain if the Trump organization is putting on the event they are clearing licenses for music.
If Trump is appearing at a venue staged by someone else then it is the responsibility of the group or person staging the event.
In any event.. anyone challenging Trump will need some deep pockets to keep the Doberman lawyers barking at one another.
