Federal court revives lawsuit against Nirvana over 1991 ‘Nevermind’ naked baby album cover
man who appeared naked as a 4-month-old on the cover of Nirvana’s 1991 album “Nevermind.”Spencer Elden’s lawsuit against the grunge rock group alleges that he has suffered “permanent harm” as the band and others profited from the image of him underwater in a swimming pool, appearing to grab for a dollar bill on a fish hook.The suit says the image violated federal laws on child sexual abuse material, although no criminal charges were ever sought.A federal judge in California threw out the lawsuit last year but allowed Elden to file a revised version, which the judge later dismissed on grounds that it was outside the 10-year statute of limitations of one of the laws used as a cause of action.Thursday’s decision by a three-judge panel of the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals in California reversed that ruling and sent the case back to the lower court.The appellate panel found that each republication of an image “may constitute a new personal injury” with a new deadline and cited the image’s appearance on a 30th-anniversary reissue of “Nevermind” in 2021.“The question whether the ‘Nevermind’ album cover meets the definition of child pornography is not at issue in this appeal,” the court wrote, according to the New York Times.In an email to The Associated Press, Nirvana attorney Bert Deixler called the ruling a “procedural setback.”“We will defend this meritless case with vigor and expect to prevail,” he wrote.The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been victims of sexual abuse unless they come forward publicly, as Elden has.

Meet the Jonas Brothers’ opening sibling act: buzz band Lawrence
the Jonas Brothers hit the ultimate home run when they opened their 2023 North American trek, simply called The Tour, with two sold-out shows at Yankee Stadium in August.But for another local sibling act that has been opening for the JoBros — Lawrence, fronted by Clyde Lawrence and his younger sister Gracie — there were mixed emotions about making their stadium debut at the home of the Bronx Bombers.“It was definitely pretty crazy to play a New York staple like that,” Gracie told The Post. “On the other hand, we are diehard Mets fan, so it felt borderline wrong.”Still, the Manhattan natives were able to put aside their Big Apple baseball allegiances — at least for two nights — to set the stage for the “Sucker” trio.“I mean, not only is it such a famous venue and such a big deal as New Yorkers, but with it also being the first shows of the tour and by far the biggest crowds we’d ever played to … it felt like the first day of school times a million or something,” said Clyde.Following two nights at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, Clyde, Gracie and the rest of their soul-pop octet — which just released the new single “23” — will be rounding back to home base for the final US date on the Jonas Brothers tour Saturday at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.“It’s gonna be awesome,” said Clyde.

Death metal band plays PSA urging stinky fans to shower: ‘Send this to your smelly friends’
cellphones, raunchy sex toys, a massive cheese wheel and even the ashes of a fan’s mother during live performances.But one band decided to take matters into their own hands and start their show with a public service announcement — telling their fans that proper etiquette actually starts before the concert even begins.And that includes showering.Dethklok — a death-metal group that originated as a fictional band from the Adult Swim animated TV series “Metalocalypse” — showed a video to the audience that urged people to be mindful of their personal hygiene at concerts.A clip of the video was posted to TikTok and has garnered 3.2 million views and 563,7000 likes.“Send this to your smelly friends,” user @rawrxdkev wrote in the video description.The video shows the Adult Swim character Facebones spinning around and giving a melodramatic speech about how to properly behave at Dethklok’s shows.“Etiquette is a French word that means, ‘how to not act like a stupid a – – hole!” the terrifying animated face screamed at the crowd.Facebones started off with concert hygiene, asking fans if they ever go to a show and stand next to a person who “smells like BO and old shoes and s – – t” — and if they don’t know what he’s talking about, that person “might be you.”“Take a shower at some point in your life and THEN come to the show,” the animated logo exclaimed.Send this to your smelly friends #concert #ettiquette #ettiquettetips #hygiene #raves #concerts #festivals #babymetalworldtour2023 #concerttok A 2021 study revealed that listening to metal music increases BO by 87% — and fans are glad the issue is finally being addressed.“It’s crazy that it’s gotten to this point but at least they did it in the best way possible,” one person
