RAY DAVIES, leader of The Kinks, was shot in New Orleans last night by a mugger. Davies and his girlfriend were having a stroll when a pair of muggers accosted the pair, stole the woman's handbag, and fled. Davies gave chase until one of the muggers pulled out a gun and shot the seminal star in the leg. Davies was treated and released from local hospital, and CNN says that one of the perps has already been caught by authorities. Davies is reportedly in good spirits.
