Dee Snider has been a heavy metal singer, a Broadway actor, a radio DJ, and a TV voice-over artist.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider took to social media to condemn anti-maskers who went into a Florida Target store blaring the group's hit “We're Not Gonna Take It" while ripping off their masks. Snider said the group doesn't have his “permission or blessing to use my song for their moronic cause." Target was fined for not enforcing the county's mask law and citations were mailed to the protesters, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported. Danielle Schumann, a Target corporate spokeswoman, said Target requires shoppers to wear masks inside stores. Nelson told the Sun Sentinel he will continue to use the Twisted Sister song, despite Snider's criticism.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Anti-maskers thought Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” was an appropriate anthem to blare as they marched through a Fort Lauderdale Target store with their faces uncovered earlier this week. Dee Snider, the frontman of the ’80s metal band, strongly disagrees. #cuttheshit https://t.co/LPDAjSszbf — Dee Snider🇺🇸 (@deesnider) September 16, 2020About a dozen members of the anti-mask group stormed the Target store off Federal Highway on Tuesday night and took off their masks, trying to spread their message that Americans shouldn’t be forced to wear face coverings during the coronavirus pandemic. The protest ended peacefully, but Broward County sent the protesters citations and also fined the Target for not enforcing the mask law, according to the Sun Sentinel. On Wednesday, Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said protective masks could be even more helpful in combating COVID-19 than a vaccine.

Dee Snider, the lead singer of Twisted Sister, had previously granted Donald Trump permission to use the band's song "We're Not Gonna Take It" in his presidential campaign, but said during a radio show appearance in early December 2015 that Trump's "extremist positions" were making him reconsider. At the time, Snider went on to say he still considers the GOP candidate a friend and that the version of Trump that he knows is different than the one that the public knows. Hide Caption
