Everett Rock City

Brought to you by Li’l Scamp electric scooters: KISS, the hard rock band and the 1970s leading consumer of face paint and pleather, has scheduled a show at Everett’s Comcast Arena on June 23 (Page B1).

For those under 30 and unfamiliar with the band, KISS and i

ts frontman Gene Simmons in his demonic makeup and platform shoes, are what convinced your grandparents that your parents would never amount to anything.

I don’t wake up Grouchy; I let her sleep: So what do you do when your 6-year-old wakes up crabby almost every day? Betsy Brown Braun, author of “You’re Not the Boss of Me: Brat-proofing Your 4- to 12-Year-Old Child,” suggests finding a time to talk with the child about his or her mood and giving him or her a hug. But don’t allow the bad mood to become manipulation (Page C1).

For adult spouses, try the same tactics, but pour a cup of coffee first.

Dinged for bling: Lindsay Lohan says she intends to enter a no-contest plea in a criminal case alleging that she walked out of a Los Angeles jewelry store with a $2,500 necklace. (Page A2).

Lohan said she will agree to the plea deal because she wants to resolve the matter and focus on her new career as the warm-up act for Charlie Sheen’s “Shameless Torpedo of Denial” tour.
