   This reminds me of this clip from "Don't Look Back" that K. miraculously found   
   a couple of years ago:

   Not sure if they are making fun of the music or really grooving to it, but   
   Dylan points out a photo of Dovovan in the paper he is reading and says   
   "Donovan.....next target," and Neuwirth says (I think) "He'll be our target   
   for tomorrow." Not sure who is    
   leading whom here.
