This is a deleted scene from Frank Zappa’s 200 Motels. It takes place on the streets of Centerville, while Howie is trying to get a groupie (played by Mark Volman) back to his cheesy motel room to the tune of ‘Do You Like My New Car.’ This scene contains the only footage of the first trial run of Cal Schenkel’s PENIS MOBILE. For some odd reason this scene never made it into the final version of the film. This clip comes from the out of print documentary The True Story of 200 Motels.

Banco Ambrosiano was an Italian bank which collapsed in 1982. At the center of the bank’s failure was its chairman, Roberto Calvi and his membership in the illegal masonic lodge Propaganda Due. Vatican Bank was Banco Ambrosiano’s main shareholder, and the death of Pope John Paul I in 1978 is rumored to be linked to the Ambrosiano scandal, giving one of the subplots of The Godfather Part III. Vatican Bank was also accused of funneling covert United States funds to Solidarity and the Contras through Banco Ambrosiano.

The body of a top Italian banker has been found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge in London.
Known as God’s banker for his links with the Vatican, 62-year-old Roberto Calvi was the chairman of Banco Ambrosiano in Milan and a central figure in a complex web of international fraud and intrigue.

He had been missing for the last nine days before his body was discovered by a passer-by hanging from scaffolding on a riverside walk under the bridge.

Police are treating the death as suicide.

Mr Calvi became chairman of Banco Ambrosiano, now Italy’s largest private bank, in 1975 and built up a vast financial empire.

In 1978, a report by the Bank of Italy on Ambrosiano concluded that several billion lire had been illegally exported.

In May 1981, Mr Calvi was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to four years’ imprisonment, but released pending an appeal. During his short spell in jail he attempted suicide.

Mr Calvi was due to appear in an Italian court next week to appeal against this conviction.

Later this month he was to be tried for alleged fraud involving property deals with Sicilian banker Michele Sindona, who is himself serving 25 years in America over the collapse of the Franklin National Bank in New York in 1974.

The Vatican is directly linked to Mr Calvi by Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, the Pope’s bodyguard, a governor of the Vatican and head of the Vatican bank which has a shareholding in Ambrosiana.

Now Ambrosiano is on the verge of collapse amid press reports that investigators found a £400m “hole” in its accounts. Last week the bank’s executive board decided to strip Mr Calvi of his authority.

The Italian Treasury dissolved the bank’s administration and the Bank of Italy is now a temporary commissioner.

Mr Calvi fled to Venice nine days ago after shaving his mustache to avoid being recognized.

From there it seems he hired a private plane to take him to London.

The day before he was found dead, his secretary committed suicide in Milan by jumping off the fourth floor of the bank’s headquarters.

Teresa Corrocher, aged 55, left an angry suicide note condemning her boss for the damage she said he had done to Ambrosiano and its employees.

It was later revealed that Roberto Calvi was found with five bricks in his pockets and had in his possession about $14,000 in three different currencies.
On 23 July an inquest jury returned a verdict of suicide. This was overturned in 1983 when a second inquest delivered an open verdict on the death.

In October 2002 forensic experts appointed by Italian judges concluded that the banker had been murdered.

They said his neck showed no evidence of the injuries usually associated with death by hanging and his hands had never touched the stones found in the pockets of his clothes. American Archbishop Paul Marcinkus was sought for questioning but was granted immunity as a Vatican employee. He retired in 1990 and died in 2006.

In October 2005 five people went on trial in Rome. They were Sardinian financier Flavio Carboni, his former girlfriend Manuela Kleinszig, Roman entrepreneur Ernesto Diotallevi, Calvi’s former bodyguard, Silvano Vittor and convicted Cosa Nostra treasurer Pippo Calo.

Prosecutors said the Mafia had killed Calvi for stealing from them and from Italian financier Lucio Gelli, who was the head of the shadowy P2 masonic organization.

Martha either writes or shares credits on each song on this album. This includes a collaboration with Elton’s pal Bernie Taupin. It was the eighties and out there amongst the new wave of dancers, prancers and punks here was Martha and the boys bringing us intelligent pop with an unspoken dangerous edge. Sultry, especially that voice in “Suddenly”, she puts in a fine performance all through this record. And the cover pics, there’s doubting wMartha Davis: vocals, guitar

World in Motion by ENGLANDneworder, reissued for the FIFA World Cup in 2002 held in Japan and Korea; features the new track ‘Such a Good Thing’, the official BBC Radio Five Live World Cup Theme; also contains the original single version and the ‘No Alla Violenza’ mix by Andrew Weatherall and Terry Farley

World in Motion was originally released as the official England World Cup Song for Italia 90 (Fac 293). It was co-written by New Order and Keith Allen and was hailed as the best World Cup song ever in many quarters. The song features Kenneth Wolstenholme uttering the immortal words “They think it’s all over… it is now”. The video features New Order and a selection of the 1990 World Cup squad. It reached number one in the UK charts. World in Motion T-shirts, caps and shorts were produced with the catalogue number Fac 283.

Postscript: The Factory Football Connection
World in Motion is not the only song by a Factory artist to have a footballing connection…

Black Grape, the band Shaun Ryder formed after the Happy Mondays’, released England’s Irie to coincide with Euro 1996 held in England. It was later used by BSkyB as the theme music for their extensive live and recorded coverage of the Football League.

Moody Places by Northside (the b-side to Fac 268 Shall We Take A Trip?) was memorably used by Granada Television to accompany their regional football coverage in the days of Elton Welsby

The BBC’s Football Focus and Match of the Day also used to use various New Order songs to soundtrack many items. Somebody in the production team obviously liked them.

While the commercial release of “Only the Lonely” in 1982 from the All Four One LP was the hit, I think the earlier version from the unreleased Apocalypso LP deserves to be heard and seen as well. I revamped the video to fit the earlier version. I apologize if not all the snycronization is perfect. Martha Davis is a brilliant song writter and one of the best singers out there.
