Royalties just received today via SAG\/AFTRA for a TV show,\u201d Lindsay posted on March 6 along with a photo of a check dated 11\/26\/2025 from NBC Universal for two cents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">\ud83c\udfac <\/strong><strong style=\"text-align: justify\">SIGN UP for &#8216;s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news &amp; celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><strong style=\"text-align: justify\"> \ud83c\udfac<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Lindsay accompanied the post with a song clip\u2014a live cover of \u201cMoney (That\u2019s What I Want)\u201d by Paul Revere &amp; the Raiders. The song written by Motown founder <strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Berry Gordy<\/strong> and <strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Janie Brown<\/strong>, was first recorded by singer <strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Barrett Strong<\/strong> and was later famously covered by several other acts from the Beatles to the Flying Lizards.<\/p>\n<p><img data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/video\/AA1XMMW7\" data-reference=\"video\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">While we\u2019re not sure what Lindsay earned his two cents for, Paul Revere &amp; the Raiders\u2019 music continues to be featured in TV shows and films. The band scored four top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1960s and topped the chart in 1971 with their version of \u201cIndian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian).\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Over the last decade, songs by Paul Revere &amp; the Raiders have been heard in a pair of acclaimed films. <strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Paul Thomas Anderson<\/strong>\u2019s <em style=\"text-align: justify\">Licorice Pizza <\/em>featured \u201cIndian Reservation\u201d in 2021 and <strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Quentin Tarantino<\/strong>\u2019s <em style=\"text-align: justify\">Once Upon a Time \u2026in Hollywood<\/em> included \u201cGood Thing,\u201d \u201cHungry,\u201d \u201cMr. Sun, Mr. Moon\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s Happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/video\/AA1XMKqC\" data-reference=\"video\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Lindsay also has an eerie connection to the story Tarantino fictionalized in the film. He and his record producer pal <strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Terry Melcher<\/strong> lived in the Los Angeles home at the top of Benedict Canyon before it was rented to director <strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Roman Polanski<\/strong> and his wife, <strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Sharon Tate<\/strong>. It was in that home that Tate was murdered by followers of <strong style=\"text-align: justify\">Charles Manson<\/strong>, in a scene that was loosely recreated by Tarantino in the film.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At a 2019 event at the Grammy Museum, Tarantino shared the stage with Lindsay to discuss the film, Lindsay\u2019s music and the connection to Manson.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cPaul Revere &amp; the Raiders was exactly the kind of band that would have rocked my little socks off,\u201d Tarantino said, per the <em style=\"text-align: justify\">Los Angeles Times<\/em>, of Lindsay\u2019s band, which was initially known for their matching revolutionary war costumes, as well as Lindsay\u2019s smooth vocals. \u201cAnd the reason Manson knew of Terry Melcher was because of Paul Revere &amp; the Raiders.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-embed-id=\"99c9db26b85d4fb88347387fa2c7591a\" data-embed-type=\"social-auto\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, even legends can have a tough time making a decent paycheck in show business.
