DYLAN TO RECORD NAVIGATION DIRECTIONS
BOB DYLAN is set to become the new voice of a satellite navigation system.
The 68-year-old folk singer, known for his distinctly raspy voice, could soon be helping lost fans find their way home after bosses at two car firms approached him to record audio directions for their Global Positioning System (GPS) maps.
He explains, "I am talking to a couple of car companies about being the voice of their GPS system. I think it would be good if you are looking for directions and hear my voice saying something like, 'Left at the next street, no a right - you know what? Just go straight.'
"I probably shouldn't do it because whichever way I go I always end up at one place - Lonely Avenue."
If The Blowin' In The Wind hitmaker agrees to the deal, he'll join celebrities including Monty Python actor John Cleese and Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall who have both provided GPS commentaries.

Fantastic!!! After all these years I`m now considering sitting the test and
buying a car just so I can use this. Might have to pull over and swoon from
time to time otherwise I may be driving around with my eyes closed.....Bobby
are you sure it would be safe or will there be more accidents involving women
drivers? Go for it Bob I`m sure we`ll cope....just!

Ha ha. That’s cool. I hope Navtones sign him up. Navtones already has Mr. T,
Dennis Hopper, Burt Reynolds, Kim Cattall… and they say the original voice of
KITT and the Hoff is coming too. How cool. THE HOFF! Dylan would be an
interesting one. I always use my celebrity voices but is Bob going to sing the
direction to me? I guess I’ll have to wait and see. You should check Navtones
out though, it's the best GPS voice site I've found. Dylan will end up here for
sure!
