Joan Jett's Bass Player Sues Over Injury

Joan Jett's bass guitarist has filed an $85 million lawsuit against New York venue Roseland Ballroom, MTV Corp. and others, saying career was jeopardized when bouncers jumped him while he was fending off a purse snatcher.

Sami Takamaki, 30, says in court papers that he was at an MTV-sponsored Iggy Pop concert at Roseland on Aug. 7, 2003, when a man tried to snatch his girlfriend's purse. Court papers identified the man as Ian Mackee, a 39-year-old electrician from Brooklyn.
