approaches, Elden has reconsidered how he feels about his naked image on the album. In his suit, he says the image of him as a baby is “sexually graphic” — likening it to “child pornography.” Despite previous reports that have said Elden was paid $250 for appearing on the cover, his lawsuit alleges that he was never paid and his parents never signed a release allowing for the photo to be used for that purpose.
Elden also says that he’s suffered “lifelong damages” from the photo, including “extreme and permanent emotional distress with physical manifestations,” as well as loss of education, wages, and “enjoyment of life.” Elden is seeking at least $150,000 in damages from the members of Nirvana and the other defendants.that “if there is a 30th-anniversary re-release [of the album], he wants for the entire world not to see his genitals.
“I have many ideas of how we should alter that cover but we’ll see what happens,” Grohl said. “We’ll let you know. I’m sure we’ll come up with something good.”Grohl’s only other mention of the lawsuit in the interview was as follows: “I think that there’s much more to look forward to and much more to life than getting bogged down in those kinds of things.” Though he did add that he’s “fortunately” not dealing with the nitty-gritty of the suit.
