Jackie Fox, bassist for the legendary punk group the Runaways, is on a roll on Jeopardy! Fox, whose real name is Jackie Fuchs, has won $34,089 over two days of the show, meaning she'll be back Tuesday night. She's now an attorney in Los Angeles, and she's previously competed on game shows including Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

So far she's had at least two music-related clues: "In this song by the B-52s, 'we were at the beach, everybody had matching towels.'" (Fuchs correctly guessed "Rock Lobster.") "Solana Imani Rowe performs under this 3-letter name, as on 'All the Stars' with Kendrick Lamar." (Nobody got it: SZA.) (Pitchfork)

The Strokes promise "global comeback"

Get ready, world: the Strokes are promising a "global comeback," starting with a gig this coming summer at the BBK Live Festival in Bilbao, Spain. It's been five years since the band's last full album, and they last played live in 2017. No further plans have been announced, but a new album and tour are a reasonable bet. (Uproxx)

Bob Dylan collaborates with Poo Bear

Bob Dylan is collaborating with Poo Bear. No, not the one who's full of stuff and fluff, the musician whose real name is Jason Boyd. Boyd is half of a group called Bear and a Banjo, which also includes Jared Gutstadt. They're getting ready to release an eight-song project early next year; it will include lyrics by Dylan on a song called "Gone But Not Forgotten," and superstar producer/performer T Bone Burnett is in the mix as well.

The project, which was recorded in an Airstream trailer and will also include a podcast, is years in the making, says Gutstadt: "It took three to four years of development, making this album with Poo and T Bone and Bob Dylan's camp to get it right." (Rolling Stone)

Carlton actor sues Fortnite over Fresh Prince dance

Alfonso Ribeiro, the actor who played Carlton on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is suing the video games Fortnite and NBA 2K for using his character's signature dance without permission. Ribeiro is currently in the process of copyrighting the dance, which he debuted in 1991 to the tune of Tom Jones singing "It's Not Unusual." The suit will be closely watched in the music industry, since artists like Drake, Psy, and other much lesser-known performers have seen games like Fortnite successfully incorporate recognizable moves they debuted in music videos or onstage.

Why touring is making more money than ever

With streaming revenue growing, the music industry generally has been on a financial upswing in recent years. One huge area of growth, though, is all about the live experience: live concerts raked in $3 billion this year, up a full $500,000,000 over 2017. Touring superstars are nothing new: why the sudden explosion of revenue?

The short answer is that artists are essentially becoming their own scalpers: the biggest tours have dramatically raised their prices to capture some of the money that was going to ticket re-sellers. Increasingly sophisticated ticket-pricing technology is helping, as artists are able to use a host of strategies to fill arenas with fans paying as much as reasonably possible.

There are also more artists that can sell a lot of tickets, thanks to social media that allow artists to build international fan bases even without the support of big record labels or radio stations. As revenues rise, though, more scrutiny is being directed at big bookers like AEG and Madison Square Garden, which have both been accused of "block-booking" tactics requiring artists to play a certain venue they run in one market if they want to play another venue they run in another state or even another country.
