(CNN) -- Ray Davies, the lead singer with the British rock band The Kinks, is recovering after being shot in New Orleans.
A police spokesman said Davies and a female companion were walking near the French Quarter at about 8:30 p.m. ET Sunday when two suspects approached them and grabbed the woman's purse.
Davies, 59, ran after the suspects, and was shot in the leg, New Orleans Police Department spokesman Capt. Marlon DeFillo said. The woman was not injured, police said.

The songwriter was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released soon afterwards in good condition.

the riaa is adding a new dimension to it's war on downloaders. From now on if they suspect you have money they are going to coordinate attacks such as these so they can get your money and punish you for not supporting the label all at the same time.
get well soon ray.

I'm an old guy..so I was a Kinks fan a long time ago...
Ray, I'm only 51...so , good on ya for having the guts to go after the bastards...but, with so many people packing on the streets, you're luck it was just the leg...and not the femoral artery in the leg.
Get well quick Ray, and thanks for all the great music man!
