NIRVANA 'Nevermind' Cover Star Interviewed 17 Years Later; Audio Available

July 26, 2008

Chana Joffe-Walt of National Public Radio's (NPR) "All Things Considered" show reports: Imagine if millions of people had seen you naked before you were old enough to say "embarrassing." That's the story of Spencer Elden, whom you may know as the little baby floating towards a dollar bill on the cover of NIRVANA's 1991 album, "Nevermind".

Nearly 17 years later, amid hating school and playing water polo, Elden is still struggling to make sense of his (very) public image.

"Quite a few people in the world have seen my penis," he says from his home in Los Angeles. "So that's kinda cool. I'm just a normal kid living it up and doing the best I can while I'm here."
