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.
For accuracy’s sake, it wasn’t Jon Stewart. However, Jon Stewart is still amazing.
