I really don't know what to say about Holiday Road. I'm glad he has a song that everyone knows. I love the video, love the exposure for LB, but I don't know what I think of that song. I don't know what I would think of the song if it just appeared on an LB album. It's like Don't Stop. I can't have an independent opinion of it anymore. It's just too poppy and popular.

I think it's perfectly fine not to have an opinion of that song. It's just one of those songs, like those uber-popular Beatles songs, that transcend independent opinion, imo.

I was visiting my friend's grandfather at his nursing home and they were using the song in one of those step aerobics classes. It was kind of cute, maybe a little disturbing, to see them all singing along (one woman was using arms). My other friend runs a day care and made a playlist of popular songs and HR was a favorite.

I do think it's cute that the song is such a hit with little kids and the elderly, though. Even if neither know who LB is.
