In addition to these facts, Gunsmoke was also the first television series to be filmed on location in the Old West. The show was filmed in Dodge City, Kansas, which was a real-life town in the Old West. This helped to give the show a sense of realism that other Westerns of the time lacked.

Ready to go on a musical voyage back to 1972? Scott, Mark and Lou are your guides on this journey through the sounds of a remarkable year. Join us as we reminisce about the legendary albums that set the tone for the year - from Led Zeppelin 4 to Tapestry and everything in between. We don't stop there; we explore how generational differences shape our appreciation for these timeless classics. And, for a fun twist, we bring in a dash of humor with Cheech and Chong skits, and discuss how the hit show Supernatural is a masterclass in mixing and deviating from storylines.As we navigate the diverse soundscape of 1972, we dive into the events that shaped the music world then. Elvis Presley Boulevard, Pink Floyd's Dockside of the Moon, a jam session with Chuck Berry and Keith Richards, and the debut of Paul McCartney's new band, Wings, all feature in our nostalgic tour. Beyond the music, we also tip our hats to the 1972 cinema world, with peculiar gems like Vampire Circus and Dr. Phibes Rides Again, and iconic Westerns like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The trip down memory lane doesn't stop there. We reflect on some of the standout albums of the year, from the brooding Black Sabbath's Volume 4 to the introspective musings of Cat Stevens' Teaser and the Fire Cat. We recall the electrifying performances of legends like Miles Davis and Mick Jagger, and the controversies thrown up by the Electric Light Orchestra's live debut. Plus, we pay homage to some of 1972's biggest hits, such as 'Dr. My Eyes' by Jackson Browne and 'I Hear You Knocking' by Dave Edmunds. So, buckle up and get ready to soak up the incredible music of 1972 with us!

San Francisco movie and media critic Pam Grady joins us and she finally brings Westerns into OMFYS with ZACHARIAH (1971), a homoerotic oater starring John Rubenstein and a very young Don Johnson as star-crossed gunslingers who just can't quit each other on their road to hippy-dippy enlightenment. Billed as "The First Electric Western," Country Joe & the Fish, the James Gang and the New York Rock Ensemble show up with their late-1960s Gibson guitars and Fender stacks even though everything else about the movie takes place in the 19th Century. John Coltrane drummer Elvin Jones nearly steals the show by shooting a dude and then playing a kick-ass drum solo. ZACHARIAH is streaming on YouTube but this DVD-rip on Archive is far superior so Airplay that to your flat screen: https://archive.org/details/zachariah-1971-dvdrip-xvi-d Our second feature is the very-noir psychological western PURSUED from tough guy director Raoul Walsh in 1947. The Hollywood pothead par excellence ROBERT MITCHUM plays Jeb Rand who struggles to recall the massacre of his family through repressed memories and expressionist dream sequences. Making the past more than prologue is that the people who slaughtered the Rands are still plotting to finish the job. Also starring Teresa Wright as Jeb's love interest and sister-by-adoption (ew); Judith Anderson as the matriarch who's definitely keeping secrets; and the Skipper's dad, Alan Hale Sr. New Mexico's landscapes are brought to life in PURSUED by the breathtaking cinematography of James Wong Howe and it's all set to a sweeping Max Steiner score. Bob and Cory also discuss how Raoul Walsh got his eyepatch plus the ghastly prank the great director played on Errol Flynn, so wait for that. PAM GRADY will be introducing Scorsese's Dylan near-mockumentary, ROLLING THUNDER REVUE, on Sunday, Sept. 24th at the 4 Star Theater (2200 Clement Street, San Francisco).
