Title: Cheryl Johnson's Column
Written By: Cheryl Johnson

He's short enough, he's rich enough,
and gosh darn it, he likes people It is an immense relief when someone who you believe needs therapy figures that out on his own. P. Roger Nelson of Chanhassen placed a want ad in the November issue of the London-based TimeOut mag, seeking a therapist named Rebecca. "Consultation needed... call 612 (and then a number that rang out at Paisley Park) USA...Please ask 4 Eric." Superimposed over the half-page ad is that symbol that Mr. Nelson has taken as his name. There's also additional advertising for something called "The Sacrifice of Victor." Surely this is something sexually vulgar, but no cry for help is perfect. Nathan Wright, U.S. representative for Uptown Magazine, a Prince magazine published in Sweden, said Monday that Brit sources tell him that another London publication ran a story about Mr. Nelson's search for Rebecca Baines, a concertgoer Mr. Nelson wants to make a star. At the concert Baines apparently proclaimed Prince is sex on legs. "My sources in London tell me...she may have already visited Prince here, although I cannot confirm this," said Wright. "The way it's [stated] in the ad, she's a therapist, but from what I understand [she's in training as] a sex therapist." Eeeeeee. Won't touch that except to say Mr. Nelson best knows his needs."
