It’s one thing that Lil Wayne is in jail. After all, from a musical standpoint, he’s been so historically prolific that we have more than enough to keep us Sonically Wayned for the duration of his incarceration.

But now Lindsay Lohan is going to prison?

Musical crisis!

What, indeed, will we do for Lohan music with her locked away? For those of you who are not yet familiar with the melodic grace, compositional wit and sheer vocal charm of her Speak CD, for example, well, you’re missing a treat. She’s not just the actress of her generation.

Here are some of the musical projects Lohan was considering that are now on hold and, let’s face it, given her unpredictable state, will probably never come to fruition.

-- Lohan meets Thelonious Monk. Yes: her French horn work is fluent and fiery and criminally under-known save to neighbors who are said to sit on deck chairs for hours in the hopes she’ll come out on the balcony of her Hollywood Hills home and work her way through either or both Strauss concertos. Rumors were rabid that Lohan was going to take Columbia’s 1964 Solo Monk and improv French horn melodies over the tracks. One take each and just go for it, girl! Now: probably never.

-- Lindsay Lohan in a new, ultra hip production of Mary Poppins. The set up: Mary Poppins (portrayed by Lohan, of course) is somehow one of the cast members of MTV’s brand new Real World New Orleans. Not only will the tender-hearted nanny learn how to smoke, drink and shoot meth, she’ll also sing arrangements of "Feed the Birds," "Chim Chim Chir-ee" and "Spoonful of Sugar" with a junkie brass band on the creepy end of Rampart Street. It’s a sinister idea but I think the tunes would have held up well and Poppins is a role Lohan was born to play. Or was born to play. By the time she serves her full sentence, she'll be at least 16 days older than now.

-- Finally, Lohan tackles the songbook of Jimmy Webb. Just simple, piano-and-voice takes of “The Highwayman,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Galveston” and “Wichita Lineman” — with Lohan emoting from the depths of her soul, wringing every ounce of narrative and meaning from the timeless classics.

See what crime ruins?

See how we all lose?
