The USA Today (guess what newspaper was complimentary at the Rail Haven?) also had a list of top five road songs as chosen by 20,000 consumers who voted recently at Choice Hotels' Econo Lodge "Travelin' Tunes" sweepstakes.
The top five:
5. TAKE IT EASY- EAGLES 9% Hey, I just bought this one!!! "Standing on the corner of ...."
4. TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS-- JOHN DENVER 12% My Marine Corps basic training song, "Get me out of here!!"
3. BORN TO BE WILD-- STEPPENWOLF-- 13% (from movie "Easy Rider"
2. ON THE ROAD AGAIN-- WILLIE NELSON-- 18% (from a movie, possibly "Honeysuckle Rose Rose")
1. LIFE IS A HIGHWAY-- RASCAL FLATS-- 22% (from movie "Cars." I think Tom Cochran originally did it.
How about "Get Your Kicks on Route You-Know-What." --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
