As it's yet to come what is your prediction?
 
I'll say that The Forum Monkeys will be given the Freedom Medal or detained by the authorities indefinitely.

It's Dec 2018...did you fall asleep again?

I predict that the Bakers will pull the plug on the CH life support.
 
I also predict that music will live and musicians will continue to be needed less. The trend will continue.
 
I predict that people will stop calling Ed, "Bapu" and just refer to him as "father" or "father of India".
 
I predict that more guitarist will continue to seek Gibsons rather than Heritage -after all, who wants a guitar built by the ones that made all the great Gibsons? Still best to buy a name, huh?...and justify it as an investment. (ducking and laughing)
 
I predict that the minimum wage will be raised and working musicians will still be working for less than minimum with no benefits. The ones that work that is. The rest will start using hats along with an open guitar case, with a jar, with a miniature basketball goal to entice people to make a 3 pointer with that quarter. Micro guitar amps will continue to see upward sells as street guitarist increase...due to people not being able to resist taking a shot at that goal.
 
Bapu will refuse to reply to "father" or "father of India" and write a song about a monkey named father of India...with a friend named Bapu. Misdirection at it's finest.

I picked the wrong year to make a New Year's Resolution.....

spacey
I predict that the Bakers will pull the plug on the CH life support.

If so, it was a great run, no?

I predict that I won't have the funds to invest in a hat, so my performance options will be limited. I may be able to rig a headband with a hoop in the front. 
 
I also predict that people will not want to waste quarters and will throw rocks and live rats instead. 

I want 2 things in 2017, world peace and a pony

I'm your phony, mate.

And I've made peace with the whirled.

I disagree.  There will be many, many musicians coming out of the various schools, but the market for music will keep expanding internationally.  If china would only like western entertainment like they like Buicks, you Spacey could only get the crumbs of that cake and still be making a living.  China would have to honor intellectual property though. We've finally settled on a way to monetize music  Marketing still works. So those bands and musicians with the deepest pockets will continue to dominate.
 
Studying k-pop should be required reading for any M.B.A's.:D:D (can you believe schools have MBA's in music business?  What a crock!)
 
Your's Truly,
