In 2009 — 12 years ago — Bob Dylan told the audience on his weekly radio show broadcast, Theme Time Radio Hour, that he was speaking to a number of car companies about becoming the voice of their satellite navigation systems.
Dylan said he thought it be would be good for drivers to hear him saying things such as: "Take a left at the next street. No, a right. You know what, just go straight."
The press and many members of the audience took Dylan seriously and the story ran for days. Dylan, as usual, got the last laugh.
