Bob Bob? Bob Dylan voiced Sat Nav could be here soon

Music icon Bob Dylan has revealed on his BBC radio show that he could lend his voice to a GPS system.

The subject arose on his BBC Radio 6 Music Sunday show, and the singer-songwriter known for his nasally voice gave a sample of what to expect. “Left at the next street, No, right. You know what? Just go straight.”

The 68-year old star known for such classics as Blowin’ in the Wind and Subterranean Homesick Blues would not be the first famous person to lend their voice to a Sat Nav system. Comedian John Cleese is one such star available to download as the ‘voice’ of a system.

Currently the most popular voices used on Sat Nav include actresses Susan Skipper and Eve Karpf.
