I guess all these years it didn’t matter, until now.
Spencer Elden, the baby on the iconic album cover ‘Nevermind,’ is now suing Nirvana for alleging “sexual exploitation.” He is now 30 years old.
According to BBC.com, the report says,
“The images exposed Spencer’s intimate body part and lasciviously displayed Spencer’s genitals from the time he was an infant to the present day,” legal papers filed in California claim.
He claims he “has suffered and will continue to suffer lifelong damages” as a result of the artwork, including “extreme and permanent emotional distress” as well as “interference with his normal development and educational progress” and “medical and psychological treatment”.
He is reportedly asking for damages of $150,000 from each of the 15 defendants, including the members of the band.

I think since nirvana songs are more playable nowadays that it means that the individual pertaining to the cover album of nirvana is trying to cash in by an attempt of suing one of the largest rock and roll media bands?
