Follow Up of the Day: Well, it was fun while it lasted, but it turns out that’s not Jon Leibowitz AKA Jon Stewart getting his mosh on at a 1982 Dead Kennedys show in Richmond, VA.
The person in the photo is actually Red Cross/Prevaricators bassist (and Jon Stewart doppelganger) Alford Faulkner.
Old-school RVA punk Doug Dobey gave Faulkner a call this morning, and he confirmed the photo is of him at a July 23rd, 1982 Dead Kennedys show which took place at the now-defunct Casablanca.
For what it’s worth, it could totally have been him, if not for the hair.
Aw, dammit. Although I’m pretty sure that Jon Stewart is totally the moshing type.
