The First Shall Later Be the Stars

I noticed the following on the This Day in History app over on the right today:

1967 The Who, opening for Herman's Hermits begin a U.S. tour

I then realized that the opening act was The Who, arguably one of the more important of the British groups ranking right there with the Beatles, The Stones, Led Zepplin and, well, maybe that's it. And Herman's Hermits? Let us just say they had their day while The Who continue to live on.

Sometimes the ones we think are the stars turn out to be simply setting the stage.
