Can’t help but share this one with our readers. Via Stereogum (in turn, via Gawker) comes this photo of a young Jon Stewart moshing at an early ’80s Dead Kennedys show.

The photo was taken by Irish Willis Peele at a show in Richmond, Virginia. Stewart — then Jon Leibowitz — attended William and Mary College until 1984. He is pictured in the center of the photo. Peele frequently photographed the Virgina speed punk band Front Line, as well as many others in the 1980s.  Here are some additional photos from Peele that document the Virginia punk scene.
