Candye Kane, a blues singer and self-proclaimed "toughest girl alive," was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last month. Kane performed in Tucson in February, just days before going into the hospital with abdominal pain.

Because of her ties to Tucson, the Boondocks Lounge will hold a benefit concert for her on Sunday.

Kane, like so many musicians, does not have health insurance, so The Bad News Blues Band, Lisa Otey, The Carnivaleros and others will perform to help raise some cash for her medical bills. Kane, who has canceled a string of tour dates, won't be there.

The evening begins at 5 p.m., and organizers will accept anything you can spare as admission.

If you wish you were in Tijuana, eating barbecued iguana, you might want to stop by Club Congress on Saturday to check out Stan Ridgway in concert.

Ridgway is the former frontman for the new wave band Wall of Voodoo, the group behind the hit song "Mexican Radio."

The band toured steadily throughout the 1980s off the fame of the popular track and a cover of the Johnny Cash tune "Ring of Fire."

"Mexican Radio" continues to receive gobs of radio play. In 2006, the song was covered by Kinky, a band that hails from Monterrey, Mexico.

Ridgway, below, comes to town as a solo artist with more than two decades of eclectic, eccentric Americana fare under his belt.

The Voodoo Organist, a Tucson act, opens the show at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $12 in advance and $14 the day of the show.

For more information, call 622-8848.

It seems like only yesterday that the Tournament of Destruction made its debut with three demolition derby events at the Tucson Convention Center.

But that was 20 years ago, and the show has grown ever larger and louder since then. Thousands of spectators are expected Friday and Saturday when the Tournament of Destruction again roars into the Tucson Rodeo Grounds on South Sixth Avenue and East Irvington Road. The madness cranks up at 7 both nights.

Expect to see a McGruff the Crime Dog monster truck (a previous edition is above), along with many more. Advance tickets are $12, available at Tucson Carquest stores. Tickets $15 at the gate. Children under 3 admitted free.

Tucson's criminal element makes national television tonight on a new episode of "The First 48," a reality series based on homicide investigations around the country.

The episode will follow detectives William Hanson, Michael Carroll and others as they try to find a man's killer based on a cell phone and a pawnshop slip, according to the A&E Web site. Other cities featured this season include Memphis, Miami, Detroit and Dallas.

The program starts at 9 p.m. on A&E.

Saturday's Fiesta de Saguaro will be held, fittingly enough, at Saguaro National Park East, 3693 S. Old Spanish Trail. The free festival will include arts and crafts for kids, exhibits, demonstrations, Mexican food vendors and plenty of entertainment from 10 a.m to 4 p.m.

Los Tres Amigos will perform at 10, followed by a puppet show, folklorico dancing and much more. Continuous shuttle service will run from Sahuaro Baptist Church, 10361 E. Old Spanish Trail, starting at 9:30 a.m.
