Nirvana Nevermind


Nirvana baby finds exposure a bit odd August 16, 2007 Chicago Tribune

Spencer Elden, the naked baby on the cover of Nirvana's breakthrough 1991 album, "Nevermind," says it's a bit creepy knowing millions have seen your stuff.
"I feel like I'm the world's biggest porn star," Elden, who is now 17, told MTV.com.

The California boy said he is a true Nirvana fan but has never met any of the band members. He's had a platinum record for "Nevermind" hanging in his bedroom since his first birthday. His parents were paid $200 for allowing him to be photographed in a pool.

Being on the album's cover has led to some strange encounters. He said he was once invited to swim in a rather wealthy woman's pool simply because he was the Nirvana baby.

Of course the album cover was also celebrated by Rolling Stone with one of three special edition covers!!
