Liberals, what part of music licensing law for venues don't they understand?
He is merely trolling Steve Tyler in this tweet.

Still, there are provisions in some agreements that allow artists to ask for their music to not be used at political events.
He was conceding that he would no longer be using his music.

While video cases are clearer cut, there’s still a danger of getting into trouble without directly doing anything wrong. The most notable example of this was the saga of Jackson Browne and the 2008 presidential bid by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., which used the song “Running on Empty” without the proper license (why you’d want to use that particular song, with its message of utterly spent energy, in your campaign is a mystery). Even though the senator had no knowledge or involvement in the creation or distribution of the offending video by the Ohio GOP, he got dragged through the mud and the Republican National Committee was forced to settle for an undisclosed sum of money.
More recently, artists have had the option to withdraw permission from political candidates who already obtained a blanket license to use their songs. During the 2012 campaign season, BMI created a separate license for “political entities or organizations” (ASCAP has its own version). It comes with a catch, in that it allows musicians to withdraw rights to a song for any reason.
Obviously because he found a better one to take it's place. Which is easy to do with Steve Tyler songs.
Translated - Musicians fantasize that their some section in the agreement that allows artists to force venues to not play their music at political events -- there is not . All they can do is ask/whine/plead to the politician.
If that was the case he wouldn't have used it in the first place.He stopped using Tylers music after Tyler threatend to sue.
