Nirvana lawsuit: Man who appeared on Nirvana's 'Nevermind' album as a baby sues band for child pornography "This is a choice that he has never had." "Today, like each year on this date, our client Spencer Elden has had to brace himself for renewed unwanted attention from the media and fans alike throughout the world," his attorneys wrote in a release obtained by USA TODAY. Elden is requesting his genitalia be removed from "all future album covers" on the 30th anniversary of the project.
Spencer Elden, who is now 30, filed a lawsuit against the band last month after claiming he has suffered "lifelong damages" from Nirvana knowingly producing "commercial child pornography" with the 1991 album cover. Now, the man who appeared on the cover as a child wants the cover art permanently changed. I think the solution here is clear: Dave Grohl needs to get naked, jump in a pool, and show his own adult dong on the Nevermind album cover.Nirvana released their second studio album three decades ago with an iconic cover, a naked baby in a pool being lured by a dollar bill. And, fortunately, I don’t have to do the paperwork.” I’m sure we’ll come up with something good… I think that there’s much more to look forward to and much more to life than getting bogged down in those kinds of things. But now Dave Grohl is publicly discussing the idea of a new Nevermind cover.Īs Yahoo News points out, Grohl recently spoke to The Times Magazine, and he said that future Nevermind reissues could potentially have different art: “I have many ideas of how we should alter that cover, but we’ll see what happens. Legal experts called the lawsuit “ ridiculous,” and the photo will still appear on a forthcoming box-set reissue of Nevermind. Since the news of the lawsuit circulated, it’s been widely mocked.
Spencer Elden, the guy who was the baby on the Nevermind album cover and who has celebrated his strange distinction over the years, sued Nirvana, the band’s individual surviving members, Kurt Cobain’s estate, album-cover photographer Kirk Weddle, and the various labels involved in releasing Nevermind, claiming that the cover was child pornography that left him sexually exploited.
Amidst all the anniversary pageantry, there was also the shadow of a strange developing story. Last month, the world celebrated the 30th anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind.
