[
Spencer Elden, the man who was photographed
as a baby on the album cover for Nirvana's Nevermind,
is suing the band alleging sexual exploitation.
The cover depicts Elden as a four-month-old
in a swimming pool, grasping for a dollar bill
that's being dangled in front of him on
a fishing line.
Now 30, Elden says his parents never
signed a release authorising the use
of his image on the album.
He also
alleges the nude image
constitutes child pornography.
[
Elden has recreated the album cover several times
as a teenager and adult - always wearing swimming trunks - to mark
Nevermind's 10th, 20th and 25th anniversaries.]
Sounds like Greedy Lawyers
["It's hard not to get upset when you hear how much
money was involved," he continued. "[When] I go to a
baseball game and think about it: 'Man, everybody at
this baseball game has
probably
seen my little baby penis,'
I feel like I got part of my human rights revoked."]
His parents are at fault
They were in charge not him.
