The Tucson Blowtorch

Speaking of Tucson blowtorches, KDRI AM 830 is definitely up to something because I am driving back to Phoenix from Los Angeles and right now in Indio, KDRI is booming in with their soft AC format and ads playing for someone’s son running as Tucson mayor...

By "someone's son," you mean Ed Ackerley, son of Gene Ackerley? Gene managed a number of Tucson radio stations going back to the '50s, and later started Ackerley Advertising, which I think Ed now runs, as Gene is probably in his 90s by now.

Remember the '70s-era :30 announcer (Gene)/slides TV spots for (copy, ending with) "...Bullard's...in Casas Adobes Shopping Plaza, North Oracle Road and Ina...Bullard's is open Sundays from 11 till 4"?

Gene is doing the "This message paid for..." tag-lines on Ed's radio spots.
