The stoplights, they are a-changin'
Imagine driving along in your car, in desperate need of directions, when the voice of a generation comes on and tells you to take a left. That scenario may soon become a reality. You see, rocker Bob Dylan says that he’s in talks to lend his legendary voice to automobile navigation systems. I’d listen to Bob Dylan read a phone book so I’m an easy sell but isn’t that a pretty genius idea?
Speaking to the Theme Time Radio Hour over on the BBC, Dylan said: “I think it would be good if you are looking for directions and you heard my voice saying something like, ‘Left at the next street…. No, right… You know what? Just go straight.” Nice to see he’s got a good sense of humor about the idea.
Dylan says he’s seriously considering the proposal. Apparently, he’s not the only celebrity comfortable with recording for GPS systems. Turns out that you can already get Homer Simpson, John Cleese and Mr. T to guide you.
Me, I’d like to see Christopher Walken do one of these things. Why? Because, admit it, his voice makes everything better.
