Heat is on in Burbank

The sun is blazing in the Southland today, that means sizzling temperatures in the valley — especially Burbank. At 10 a.m. the thermometer shot-up to 72 degrees in the Media City.  A high of 85 is predicted. You might need to get that umbrella out again — not for rain — but for shade.  Sigh, summer is coming.

Stone showed up late, which he is known to do, and did more jabbering than singing.  Music Blogger Vanessa Franko caught the Stone set and reports about it here. The Inland SoCal journalist […]
