My thoughts on the Tribute: 1. I'm glad they are still doing tributes to him. 2 No one will ever be him. 3. Prince really liked FKA Twigs 4. It wasn't Madonna (U all remember that, right?) 5. As long as people don't forget him, I'm good.

Since I can't find photos, here is @IAMANITABAKER presenting @prince with the @AMAs award of merit in 1990. He was so amazing happy & proud. At that time, just 12 years in the game & getting major awards. Thanks 2 @PRNLegion for the clip! 💜💜💜
