A federal judge in Los Angeles has dismissed a lawsuit by a man who said the grunge rock group Nirvana sexually exploited him by putting a photo of him as a naked, four-month-old baby on the cover of its classic 1991 album “Nevermind.” This, Reuters reports, after the plaintiff, Spencer Elden, missed a deadline to respond to the defendants’ motion to dismiss the case. The defendants, including Kurt Cobain’s widow Courtney Love and Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl had previously said that Elden could not claim to be a victim after spending three decades “profiting from his celebrity as the self-anointed ‘Nirvana Baby'”.
