52-Naked Nirvana Baby Spencer Eldon - a podcast by Joe Parisi
from 2017-06-14T23:00
In September 1991, an album called "Nevermind" hit record stores and the cover featured a picture of a naked baby boy underwater in a swimming pool going after a dollar bill on a fish hook. To the complete shock of everyone including the band's own record label, this album would go on to knock Michael Jackson from the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart and help bring "grunge" music into the mainstream. By fall of 1992 the album was selling 300,000 copies every week. To date, over 30 Million copies of this album have been sold worldwide and it's know as one of the most influential albums of all time. Everybody knows this album cover!
But what about that naked baby? Well, his name is Spencer Eldon and I've tracked him down to hear what his life has been like since....which he obviously has had zero control over. Spencer tells us about life as "the never mind baby", how it's affected him, his relationship with the members of Nirvana, what he's done with his life and his future plans. Quite an interesting situation and quite a unique young man.
Thanks for listening!
