I still have the lithographic plate that was used for the front cover of his book. Does anyone want it?.

Nobody around here knows what really happened. What was the news footage? There's an old newspaper photo of him getting out of jail - the drunk tank - from August 6, 1958, but I don't have it. The caption of the photo identifies him as "Beatnik Poet Laureate Padreic Suemus O'Sullivan" and says "Padreac O'Sullivan, in bucket on drunk charge. Says he ain't drunk and wants out so he won't be fired. This probably removes his 'beat' classification." Note that they spelled his name two different ways.<br /><br />Paddy died in the 1990s. Like the loss of his hand, everybody seems to know about it but nobody knows the circumstances of his passing.Joe Cottonwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282993255868590544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946458937604608009.post-60701064766783659012012-05-05T09:34:48.091-07:002012-05-05T09:34:48.091-07:00How did Paddy lose his hand?

I have some old news footage of him (along with Bob Kaufman, Linda 'Lovely' Cherney, Patsy Goudie, etc) from around 1959 on an old VHS tape, and he had both hands at that time. <br /><br />Also, whatever became of him? Nearly all the others from that era are gone now; no doubt Paddy's with the Great Majority, also.<br /><br />Thank-you very much for posting this. Cheers!R. W.
