Antony and The Johnsons
Antony vs. Anthony

A quick post about dyslexia and the spelling of artist names. Why is the web littered with incorrect spellings of Antony and the Johnsons? I'm not going to name the websites that improperly refer to Antony Hegarty as Anthony, but in my opinion if an artist refers to him or herself as such, then I should accept the name (out of respect). If i truly enjoyed the music, you'd think i'd take the time to learn the artist's name accurately. If you search the web, you'll notice many writers add the extra "H" in Antony, even though Hergarty's site, Secretly Canadian, and wikipedia all respectfully list as Antony. One might say, it's obvious that his real name is Anthony, but I've yet to read a confirmation of that. Regardless, would you call Mos Def -- Most Def?
