Iconic singer-songwriter Bob Dylan is in negotiations to become a voice giving directions on a satnav. At least that’s what he told listeners to his The Time Radio Hour, claiming he’d been approached by more than one manufacturer. He said:
“You know I don’t usually like to tell people what I’m doing, but I’m talking to a couple of car companies about the possibility of being the voice of their GPS system.”
XM Satellite Radio today announced that they were bringing legendary music icon Bob Dylan into the fold as a music show host. Dylan’s new show will debut on their deep rock channel in March 2006.
Dylan will offer regular commentary on music and other topics on his weekly, hour long show. He plans to host and interview special guests including other artists and will respond to emails from XM subscribers.
“Songs and music have always inspired me. A lot of my own songs have been played on the radio, but this is the first time I’ve ever been on the other side of the mic,” said Dylan. “It’ll be as exciting for me as it is for XM.”
