"The cover for Nevermind, a 1991 Nirvana album that is said to have helped redefine rock music, features a naked 4-month-old baby in a pool, appearing to swim after a dollar bill that's pierced with a fish hook.

That baby — the now 30-year-old Spencer Elden — is suing Nirvana for child exploitation and pornography, saying the band knowingly distributed the naked photo of Elden as a baby and profited from it."

..but then there's this article from 2016:

 

Nirvana’s Iconic ‘Nevermind’ Cover Baby Poses Again for Album’s 25th Anniversary

 

 

from article: " “I said to the photographer, ‘Let’s do it naked.’ But he thought that would be weird, so I wore my swim shorts,” Spencer, who sports a “Nevermind” tattoo across his chest, told the New York Post. “It’s cool but weird to be part of something so important that I don’t even remember.”

 

 

" He has previously recreated the Nevermind album cover for the record’s 10th and 15th anniversaries."

 

 

“I always say, ‘[My penis has] changed, do you want to see it?’” Elden told CNN in 2011.

 

hmmmm....maybe the image on the album cover was prophetic?
