Once Naked For Nirvana, Now A Teen Spirit

Do you think a major label would have the guts to put out an album cover (let alone an album) like that today? Would an indie label use that cover? Are there really any indie "labels" anymore?

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....

...These days, Elden says, his peers concentrate on "playing Rock Band on Xbox, like, that's not a real band! That's the difference between the '90s and kids nowadays; kids in the '90s would actually go out and make a [real] band!"

I always wondered who that kid was, thanks for the info, what a cool album and a great band. It is a shame that Kurt was too much of a pussy to deal with life.
