Simply because it is hard to imagine a more entertaining way to find Highway 61, and because life is truly stranger than fiction, I offer for your consideration this story indicating that Bob Dylan is negotiating with a couple of car manufacturers to be their in-car GPS navigation system voice. What would 1965 Dylan have to say about this?
Apropos comments strongly encouraged.

Directions to NYU: Make a right on 4th Street. Positively, 4th Street.

And this would be helpful for when you're stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again.

Dylan spent much of his youth in Hibbing, Minnesota--an iron range town. You might need a GPS to find Hibbing since the original town was moved to dig up more iron. Those Northern Minnesota Jews are tough (see e.g. Debbie Dennis), and Dan did you know that Debbie and Dylan are "connected"...it's a long story.. (also Roger Maris came from Hibbing)..r

I want to hear Burt Bacharach as a GPS voice - you could always be "only 24 hours from Tulsa"!

Or Dionne Warwick, to tell you the way to San Jose.
