[...] T.I. closed the night and totally tore the house down peforming hits like “Why U Wanna”. Oh and I’m still not entirely sure why T.I. came onstage with a huge designer backpack slung over his shoulder. I thought for sure he was going to reach into it at any moment during his performance and start throwing money into the crowd–but alas, no such thing was done. In fact some dude just stood there holding the backpack the whole time and then when the show was over, he took the backpack pack and slung it back over his shoulder. Who does he think he is with his mystery bags, Antony of Antony and the Johnsons? [...]

[...] I love me some Kelly Clarkson. I almost shed a tear when she won Best Pop Vocal album. J’adore. Clarkson is the only good artist to come out of American Idol. But one hint of advice: Girlfriend, don’t bring your purse onstage! It’s like your Antony from Antony and the Johnsons. For me, the straw that broke the camel’s back was when that b-tch Joss Stone stole Joseph’s Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for the Sly and the Family Stone medley: [...]

I must go see Antony when he comes to Toronto, and I’ll even know to whistle when he bird calls. Thanks for the tip. Ermm, the bag puzzled me as well.

when i worked at joe’s pub, antony played there several times, and he always carried his purse onstage with him. not sure why. during one of the shows he also passed around a rare record (i forget which it was) around the audience. i think he likes audience participation.

and to daniel josef…antony is a pretty big guy…yep.

in every antony show i was lucky enough to see before he got so big (ok, famous – although he has certainly gotten larger in size) he always brought on his airline bag. and at some point in the show he’d stop and take things out that he said he brought from home, and give them away as gifts. i have an odd little book on apartheid published in s. africa in 1949 from him, from one of these shows. he also gave away a lot of records (including david niven in ‘around the world in 80 days) and photographs. he was, and is, unspeakably sweet. there’s no performer like him.
