Whatever Happened To The Baby From NIRVANA's 'Nevermind'? - Aug. 16, 2007
The Pulse of Radio (formerly Launch Radio Networks) reports: Whatever happened to the naked baby floating in a pool looking at a dollar bill in the famous cover photo from NIRVANA's classic "Nevermind" album? That's the question MTV.com answered this week when it tracked down the tot, named Spencer Elden and now a 17-year-old high school student in Eagle Rock, California. Elden's parents were paid $200 to allow their friend, photographer Kirk Weddle, to shoot a roll of pictures of the infant Elden swimming for the cover of the iconic 1991 disc. Now the teen admits that it's a little strange to think that more than nine million people own a nude picture of him. He said, "Yeah, it's kind of creepy that that many people have seen me naked. I feel like I'm the world's biggest porn star."

Elden occasionally does interviews about his status as the "NIRVANA baby," and charges a fee for on-camera interviews.

He hopes to become an airline pilot and enjoys surfing, snowboarding and playing water polo.

Elden said he is a NIRVANA fan but has never met anyone from the band. He did receive a platinum album award for "Nevermind", which has hung on his bedroom wall since he was one year old.

Although Elden said he feels "pretty normal" about his famous photo, he did add that it occasionally helped him with girls, explaining, "I have to use stupid pickup lines like, 'You want to see my penis again.'"

Check out then-and-now snaps of the NIRVANA baby.

The chick from the KoRn CD is pretty hot.

I wish they would have posed them in the same position as the famous covers... except for the Nirvana kid. No desire to see his schlong.

I thought that girl was Clapton's neice or something. They shoudl be able to track her down. She's got to be like 50 now, and the girl from Virgin Killer HAS to be pushing 40.

...It's like saying Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys Killed Alternative Music in the mid to late 90's.
MTV and Radio change musical tastes and styles from time to time, prompted by the music companies and what they want the mainstream to buy and sell...Nirvana would be nothing more than a one-hit-wonder if it wasn't for Kurt killing himself. I like their music personally but, they were a flash in the pan, a one-album wonder. As Mike Patton once said "STAR AD!" And did I mention HIGHLY OVERRATED!!!

This story gets recycled every year. He gets a year older and he says the same thing.

I actually told somoene I was the baby on the front of the Nirvana album. Too bad the dumb broad couldn't do math. Or actually good thing she didn't because it worked.



That is a story I like to tell myself because I haven't had a g/f in over 15 years.

If you clicked on the article and read it, YOU CARE ABOUT THE STORY, despite what you say. So does anyone care? Yep, every single fucking person that clicked the story and read it. And if you were one of those smartasses who posted a comment something you don't care about, well you care WAY too much about it. I cared, that's why I read it. I love proving most of you wrong, and this way WAY too easy. Thanks!

Jon Nodveidt definitely wasnt weak. His beliefs just werent the same as most people. At least he both lived and died by them. How many people can say that about their beliefs?

"Jon Nodveidt was a real musical genius unlike Kurt Cobain. Listen to "Where Dead Angels Lie" if you don't believe me."

Mhm. The only thing Nodveidt was a 'genius' at was murder. On the other hand, the only good thing Cobain did, was kill himself so we didn't have to hear his lame musical ventures anymore.
