I’m pissed off about it, to be honest,” Elden said in an interview with the Australian version of GQ at the time. However, his perspective on this claim to fame started to shift around the time of his most recent photo reenactment in 2016, when the album (and Elden) turned 25 years old. Often, he has seemed to celebrate that status, even re-creating the image at various points in his life. For many years now, a man named Spencer Elden has been saying he was the baby featured on the cover of Nirvana’s Nevermind reaching for a dollar in a swimming pool.
