George Henn predicts:

1. Reality show producer Mark Burnett creates a sequel to the Rockstar: INXS series, this time setting out to find a replacement for the late Joe Strummer of The Clash. Judging the competition will be singers who have experience replacing famous (and sometimes dead) singers: Todd Rundgren (the new Cars), Paul Rodgers (Queen + Paul Rodgers) and AC/DC's Brian Johnson.

2. Fresh from its collaboration with Sugarland and even an appearance on the country chart, Bon Jovi (above) appears at Farm Aid, where it performs rewritten versions of its biggest hits to suit the occasion. Selections include "Lay Your Calves On Me" and "Slaughtered Dead or Alive."

3. Hundreds of thousands of musicians who have posted their music on Myspace.com web pages are horrified to learn that their "friend" Tom now actually owns the rights to the master tapes.

Chris M. Junior predicts:

1. Guns N' Roses will finally release Chinese Democracy. (Hey, it has to come out one of these days, right?)

2. There will not be remastered/expanded/remixed/ 25th anniversary editions of Rick Springfield's Working Class Dog, April Wine's Nature of the Beast or Olivia Newton-John's Physical.

3. MTV will celebrate its 25th anniversary by deciding to stop playing music videos altogether.

4. Radio stations will begin playing Christmas music immediately after Labor Day weekend.

5. Now that he's done exploring the Great American Songbook, Rod Stewart -- inspired by the birth of his latest child -- will begin releasing a series of nursery-rhyme albums.
