Here’s Jon Stewart Moshing At A Dead Kennedys Show In The ’80s

Why So Serious? Long before he hosted “The Daily Show” and changed his last name to Stewart, Jon Leibowitz attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. And judging by this newly unearthed photo—purportedly of Stewart at a 1982 Dead Kennedys concert in nearby Richmond—he wasn’t afraid to join a mosh pit. (via Gawker)

I know, right? Now tell your friends!

UPDATE: That is actually not Jon Stewart. Red Cross/Prevaricators bassist Alford Faulkner identified himself Saturday morning in the photo that was taken July 23, 1982. (via.)

      That’s “slam dancing.” Moshing is an unorganized form of nuttiness from speed metal. “slam dancing” is a circular form of dance originating in Jamaica.
