Two days before 2011 became 2012, several of us threw out predictions that we think will happen in the pop culture world for 2012. Some of them are silly. Some are serious. Some may even happen. I give to you, predictions for 2012 by members of the Popblerd staff. Mike A. The eight-track tape will make a comeback.

I consider myself politically aware enough to have an intelligent conversation about most issues, but I’m certainly not qualified to go on CNN or MSNBC and talk about anything. I’m just a guy with a brain and an opinion. For the past few weeks, I’ve been following the “Ground Zero Mosque” story with increasing interest. It’s been pretty damn hard to avoid. I mean, if […]
