Nirvana Nevermind Baby Spencer Elden Grown Up

Following last week’s news that OK Computer is 10 years old, Paxtonland posted this recent photo of Spencer Elden, (i.e., the swimming baby on the cover of Nirvana’s Nevermind), who will turn 18 next year. That’s right - the swimming baby will be old enough to vote.

What’s Elden been up to? In 2001, he re-created the album shot for Rolling Stone and two years later appeared on the cover of cEvin Key’s The Dragon Experience. Last September, Elden expressed interest to NME in meeting up with the remaining Nirvana members and told the magazine, “Nevermind is fifteen years old now, but you still hear the singles being played on the radio and it just doesn’t sound dated. Most bands around today can’t even get near to what Nirvana did on that album, and I’ll always be happy to be a part of it.”

Here’s a lullabye rendition of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” for Elden.
