From the May 6, 2012, American Profile Magazine.  These songs capture the essence of the famous road.

1.  CHICAGO--  Written bu Sufjan Stevens, from album "Illinoise."
2.  I LOVE L.A.--  Written and performed by Randy Newman from album "Trouble in Paradise."

4.  USED TO BE--  written by Bobby Wiles and Tom Skinner and performed by Red Dirt Rangers.  From the cassette Songs of Route 66.
5.  NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO GO--  Chuck Berry.  Up until a few months ago, too expensive to just be driving around.
