Drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford and the final tour of Creedence Clearwater Revisited

Featured on the June 6th, 2019 edition of ARIZONA SPOTLIGHT with host Mark McLemore:


- Scott Warren, an Arizona humanitarian worker who is facing federal charges for harboring undocumented migrants, is receiving both support and media attention from around the country. Nancy Montoya provides an update on the trial, which is now in its second week, and says the result could impact humanitarian aid on the U.S. / Mexico border for years to come.



- This summer marks 50 years since the music festival Woodstock. Drummer Doug “Cosmo” Clifford was there, as a founding member of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Mark talks with Clifford about that historic event, and why he and his musical partner Stu Cook have decided to make this year their last as touring musicians. Doug Clifford and Stu Cook bring their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited to the Desert Diamond Casino (located at 1100 W Pima Mine Road in Sahaurita) on Friday, June 14th.



- And, the sun never really sets on the legends of the Old West. Chris Dashiell looks back at two films, The Westerner (1940) and The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972). Both were shot mostly in Tucson, and both dramatized the larger-than-life story of the man who proclaimed himself to be “The Law West of the Pecos” in 1882.
