By March 1976, Byrne — left,

with Frantz and Weymouth —

had quit his day job at an advertising agency

to pursue music full time.

“I don’t like to think of myself

as an artist playing at having a band,”

he told The Times.

“It’s gotten to the point

where I think of myself as a performer

— almost an entertainer.

We take it very seriously, but it is entertainment.”

First Inklings of Fame

The class of 2020 has no idea what the future holds

— and neither do we.

Here’s a look back

at some icons starting on their paths to renown.
