Reminder of who this guy is:
“I always say, ‘[My penis has] changed, do you want to see it?’” Elden told CNN in 2011.
Also, he doesn’t seem too smart about money…
Spencer Alden’s parents were paid $200 for the original shoot, which was conducted by his dad’s friend, Kirk Weddle. British photographer John Chapple, who lives and works in Los Angeles, paid Alden the same amount to once again pose underwater a quarter of a century later.
I mean, it was 25 years and millions of album sales later. Seems like he would’ve asked for more.
Finally, I wonder if he ever even reached out to the band members to see if he could get some commissions for his street art, or if he just went straight to the suing route.
To be clear, if he really does feel exploited, I hope he can find justice, but he’s going after the wrong people here, so it strikes me as a money grab and not the actions of a victim.
