Patti Smith & Family in Vanity Fair

There's a great Annie Leibovitz shot of Patti Smith and her kids Jackson and Jesse in this month's Vanity Fair.

Jackson is holding a well-used 450/12 and it's a great Rickenbacker picture

The TRC stands out really well.

That 450/12 in the picture is none other than that of Fred "Sonic" Smith. This was his main guitar in the MC5. He always had it strung as a 6-string, and those Gibson humbuckers turned it into an entirely different guitar altogether. Glad to see it's back in action.

Kick out the Jams!

I like Patti, she did a great cover of Springsteen's "Because the Night" that I just adore.
