     My short story "Will Fame And Love Return / Thursday November 9, 2006", the story continues with the news of Rick Randolph's singer wife Alicia Reynolds and her leading the involvement in a melee and then ensuing fight with security officers, being booked and jailed, also ruining her singing career.

 

Will Fame And Love Return


When It All Comes Crashing Down


Las Vegas, Nevada

Thursday November 9, 2006


Disaster broke out when a fight started and turned into a melee when a party for the “girl next door, song bird” Alicia Reynolds, wife of star Baltimore Clippers 2nd baseman Rick Randolph got into a fight at the American Oasis Casino Hotel, along with a seedy crowd that she was hanging out with leading to extensive damage to the room the party was held in. Presumably there was alcohol and drug use involved. When the security officers came in to restore order, Alicia Reynolds started swinging and punching at them leading to the uncontrollable mayhem, she threw up and then passed out. When she came too, her and several of the other party goers were arrested and handcuffed and taken to jail where they were booked for inciting a riot, not to mention all of the damage that they had caused. Her “Girl Next Door’ reputation was now severely tarnished.


When Rick Randolph received word of the incident, he had no comment for the inquiring reporters. Also when word came out about her involvement in the melee and resulting fight, country music radio stations stopped playing her latest hit song “My Very Special Friend” that was headed to being her 7th straight #1 single and ruined any possibility of her being selected the top female country singer award for the 4th time in her singing career.


The words to Alicia Reynolds latest hit single go like this.


“My Very Special Friend”


We’ve been good friends

Probably till the end

Together we have seen it all

And have experienced it all

You’ve always been there for me

You never have ignored me

When I have some problem

When I seem to hit a dead end

I call on you, my very special friend


When I really need someone

Whom I can really call on

When I am blue

I can turn to you

When I seem to hit a dead end

I call on you, my very special friend
