  Brendan Morrison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brendan Morrison (born August 15, 1975 in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia) is a professional ice hockey player in the NHL, playing centre for the Vancouver Canucks.
Brendan Morrison was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the 2nd round of the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, and was the 39th player selected overall.
Morrison's most productive seasons in the NHL have been the 2001-02 and the 2002-03 seasons, when he scored 67 and 71 points respectively, third most on the Canucks team after linemates Todd Bertuzzi and Markus Naslund.

Morrison later admitted he wasn't pleased with the results, claiming in a Rolling Stone interview in 1969, "It came out wrong and they released it without my consent." Recordings from these sessions were occasionally re-released by Bang and in bootleg form, under various names.
Morrison still remains popular with the public; his latest album, Magic Time debuted at #25 on the US Billboard charts upon release in May 2005, some 40 years after first entering the public's eye as the frontman of Them.
Morrison's influence can be readily seen in the music of many major artists, including U2 (much of The Unforgettable Fire), Bruce Springsteen ("Spirit in the Night", "Backstreets"), Bob Seger, Rod Stewart, Patti Smith (her poetic-proto-punk "Gloria" most explicitly), Graham Parker, Thin Lizzy, Dexys Midnight Runners, and numerous others.
