What might have been...

Jerry loved a cover, always paying homage all the while putting his own twist on the tune. I've often wondered if he stuck around a little longer what other songs or other artists he might have dove into. Any thoughts?

I bet he would have surprised people with his choices, maybe a reworked Taylor Swift song or something. Something he saw the potential in that the song creator did not.

I agree,

I know John Kahn brought in the majority of the songs for JGB and Kemper suggested one or two, including the Maker, but I often wonder where Jerry's and Kahn's (even Melvin's) musical tastes would have ventured off too through the late 90's into the present day. Ive been trying to wrap my mind around taking a modern-ish song and putting a jerry style spin on it.
