Smells Like… Old
The baby on the cover of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit album turned 16 this summer. His name is Spencer Elden.
Man, I hope he keeps taking a picture like this every ten years. It could be like the kid’s own personal 7-Up series. Of course, he’d be allowed to take other pictures in between the ten-year shots (like the one he took this year, below), but those would certainly not be part of the sub-surface canon.
I wonder how often he pulls out the “naked kid in the pool” story? I fall back on some of the odder factoids from my backstory when conversations dull; this kid could totally trump me every time.

“Please don’t threaten people’s lives.”
Never were truer words said…I mean, written…typed?
Before he knows it, naked baby will be naked old man.
