Paul Revere & The Raiders’ Mark Lindsay – HuffPost 4.22.11

Mike Ragogna: Having had this kind of career, and contributing to our culture as much as you have, what advice do you have for new artists?

Mark Lindsay: Before you record a single bar of music, get a good attorney! (laughs) I think that it’s very important that people who want to be a part of the music business realize that there are two parts to this job–music and business. If you’re not business minded, find someone that you really trust to keep that part of your life together for you. Otherwise, you’re going to lose a lot of bucks.

MR: Very good advice. Unfortunately, a lot of people learn the hard way about that one.

ML: Well, looking back on my career with The Raiders, you would see that at the beginning, I handled all the music and Paul handled all the business, so it can come back and bite you. (laughs)
