-No. -I walked in,
and, you know, I grew up in the whole MTV age with TRL.
I mean, we didn't have phones all of the time.
So we watched MTV all day long. That's all we did.
And when I started releasing my own music,
and going to TRL, you know,
there would be all these fans there.
-Yeah. -And 20 years later now,
all those fans were in the same --
They were there in the front row
when they were saying that I was getting this Vanguard Award,
and I got so emotional.
I was like, oh my God! You're all still here!
