It's been a couple of years now, but we did have a major, regional wide power outage occur here in Southern California. With the blackout starting in the late afternoon going up until who knew when, I was looking forward to a nice dark Milky Way filled night sky,.... that was until I remembered it was a full moon.
Damn, of all the luck.
However, the evening wasn't a total wash. Even though it was weeknight, because of the hot weather, most folks came out of their homes, many had impromptu block parties, cooking outdoors, enjoying each others company, making the best of what turned out to be a pleasant situation.
As for the so called crime that supposedly occurs in these types of situations, it seems that not much of anything occurred that evening. Well,... there was the exception of a group knuckle heads that tried to break into a BevMo store using flashlights that signaled their presence on the roof of the building. Needless to say they didn't get very far in their "endeavor".
Afterwards there were a few folks who talked about turning down the lights on given nights, but talk is as far as it went and the whole episode is now sadly enough forgotten.
The author of the article seems to want to fit the band into a mold in which it doesn't belong, but that's the way life is.
Here's what an " enlightened" employee of/. had to say about their latest kids album:

Gene Simmons is still alive??? I thought for a longest time that both he and his ideas of how the world "should" work had died off with the rest of the music industry dinosaurs.
I have seen radio telescopes linked in such a way to form a "larger" antenna. Is this similar?
You may be thinking of an interferometer. It's virtually the same thing. Very Large Baseline Inteferometry (VLBI)has been around a long time. The deal here is that now it can be done in real time.
Claiming that you have an opinion regarding Evolution is like saying you have an opinion on Gravity. Doesn't matter if you don't like the idea or not, you can't get away from the fact they exist.
Gort's visor was the robot equivalent of sunglasses or "shades". Put that visor together with Elektro's ability to smoke, you'd have one cool ass robot.
From what I have seen during my 47yrs is that the popularity of the Yo-Yo comes and goes (or should I say "goes up and down"), but it never really goes away.

This isn't anything new with him. Mitchell has been making this claim for years and I'm not sure why others are acting so surprised.
I had to read it twice. At first I thought it a was a new product called "The iTorch"
Kind of a niche market if it was
Never liked his music and I know I never will!
...this video starts out like some pornos I've seen. But alas, my hopes are quickly trashed.

Gives chain smoking a whole new meaning
