Ray's Chase

By Rebecca Winters

A trip to New Orleans left Kinks frontman RAY DAVIES No. 1 with a bullet. Davies, 59, was strolling in the French Quarter on Jan. 4 when thieves snatched his lady friend's purse. The singer of You Really Got Me apparently really got ticked off and sprinted after the muggers, who shot him in the thigh. Davies was released from a local hospital last week as New Orleans police charged one man with the crime and cautioned citizens against pursuing criminals. Mardi Gras drunks and Girls Gone Wild, however, will no doubt continue running down violent offenders.
