Bob Dylan to voice satnav systems?

Bob Dylan has claimed that he is in discussions with various car firms about the possibility of lending his voice to their satellite navigation systems.

The Highway 61 Revisited star made the comments during his street-map focused Theme Time Radio Hour on BBC 6 Music.

Dylan said: "You know I don't usually like to tell people what I'm doing, but I am talking to a couple of car companies about possibly being the voice of their GPS system.

"I think it would be good if you're looking for directions and you heard my voice saying something like, 'Left at the next street. No, right. You know what? Just go straight'."

He added: "I probably shouldn't do it because whichever way I go, I always end up at one place - on 'Lonely Avenue'. Luckily I'm not totally alone. Ray Charles beat me there."
