Nirvana has been known for belting out chart topping numbers time and again. This is the time, when Nirvana shot into fame for reasons not closely related to their music. In fact, this time around, it was for their poster boy. The story actually dates back to 17 years back, when the parents of Spencer Elden dropped him into a swimming pool.

An underwater photographer shot him then, which went on to be a part of Nirvana folklore. This time around, almost 17 years later, Spencer Elden tried to recreate the magic. And he did that and how! The cover image instantly got  a lot of popularity. Of course the music of Nevermind rocked, but the cover image definitely did its trick.

It is also reported that Spencer’s parents were paid all of $200 for the promo. What remained to be seen was why did Spencer’s parents agree to perform this daredevil stunt and especially on their small kid. This could easily have been fatal. It did not and this stunt later went on to be a part of the Nirvana band for sure.

People, who have seen Nirvana’s meteoric rise as a music band claim that a lot of what Nirvana is today is because of the cover image. I for one, disagree to this thought because Nirvana did indeed do its bit in producing chart topping numbers. Now with that being said, you must note that when something like this cover image goes up, it is bound to generate quite a bit of curiosity.

What made Spencer Elden to go for a replica shoot now? As much as the original cover image generated curiosity and popularity alike, Spencer’s latest shoot in itself generated quite a bit of buzz. Of course, the only difference between the two shoots was that the original shoot was that of a naked baby, whereas the latest one is that of a young guy in his shorts.

And really, that is where the differences end. You would find that the motivation behind both the shoots is almost the same, if not exactly. While this is being said, you would also find that a lot of Spencer Elden did recently was to make improvement on his image and brand name. Importantly, this shoot comes on the back of some rather weird encounters Spencer has been having over the last year or so. Being the “Nirvana Baby”, he was invited for a bath in the pool of a wealthy woman, it is reported.

While the whole world waits with bated breath, as to how the latest offerings of Nirvana would pan out, one thing is for sure – Life could never be the same again for Spencer. And yes, life could also not be the same for the Pasadena swimming pool, where both the shots of the Nirvana baby took place.

If there was an advertisement that has generated curiosity and popularity alike, it has to be the Nirvana shoots. How Nirvana fares really is point besides, but for now, let Spencer Elden soak in his new found celebrity status!
