I wish this group was a little more active in the email exchange department, but then again, I'm as guilty as anyone for reading and reading and rarely ever...
We all have our favorite Bill Morrissey songs, but Steve's post prompted me to think about favorite lines from those songs. I, too, love the line he quoted...
Just to be contrarian, I'll say that while I like Birches, I've never loved it. I know it's a common favorite song around these parts, but I've always...
Humor with an edge has always made a big impression on me, when it comes to songwriters. I love Warren Zevon and Loudon Wainwright. In that vein, this is one...

I moved from Willimantic Connecticut to Colorado in 1975 and am able to revisit New England infrequently. Upon hearing Bill's first album and each subsequent...
At this point in time my favorite line is from Long Gone,: "Now standing in the doorway of your front hall Ain't this better than a letter or a phone call" Art...
<There is another of Bill's songs I heard, I think in an interview, and I would like to hear again. It was written to his dog who had just died. Does anyone...
Choosing a favorite line from Bill is almost impossible, but here are just a few of my favorites. From Handsome Molly, I park my cab on water street, Im...
Too hard for me to pick a favorite line, but innumerable times over the years - sometimes in a week - I've heard John Haber in my head - "I don't know how it...
... Ooh, that's a good one. My pick for "best line" was going to be just about anything from "Last Day of the Last Furlough." Like "These Cold Fingers," it's...
This reminds me of something my great-grandmother told me. She said that when she was a little girl her mother used to tell her, "Flossie, go down the cellar...
Hi Group, Great idea for a discussion! My favorite Bill Morrissey lines are: "Me and the missus been fighting again I won't talk and she won't listen." (From...
We didn't have a wood-burning stove or fireplace when I was little, but my parents always said, "Go down cellar...", and I grew up in Northeastern Ohio on the...
... Herve, thanks for the link. I have a 13 year old dog and the verse you reference has the same effect on me: "You've known that old hound longer than you've...

He said, "You know this ride's a trade-off?" She said, "Yeah, Isn't everything?" DIFFERENT CURRENCY [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
There are many, but I think my favorites are the ones that speak a truth so well that I can quote them to people who don't even listen to music. One of them is...
So, am I to understand that people don't say "downcellah" everywhere? Hey, Bill, we'll put you back on the stage of Barnstormers as soon as you'd like. Dennis...
In 1999 I quoted from a Q&A from the Boston _Globe_ about the term "swamp Yankee," which has sometimes been applied to Bill in ... Now the winter 2007 _UMass...
You folks are picking all the good ones, it's true. Another favorite, from "The Man From out of Town" I have to paraphrase about drinkin with the priest in...
I'm going for the funny stuff today, like: "We'll hire us a band that won't play Proud Mary/ No matter how late it gets." from Off-White Dress - man, that...
I think my favorite song is still Barstow, the first song from the first album: "I can't believe it gets this cold in Barstow, and I can't believe I pissed my...
Hi Everyone: I spoke with Bill twice this week and he is doing well! He mentioned several times how much all the cards and notes mean to him. He feels really...
Creedence used to sing about how bad it was being stuck in Lodi (a town in the other end of my county). I wonder what kind of song they would have come up...
I am glad to hear that Bill is doing well. I wish him well as he continues down the road to recovery. On a selfish note, when I quickly noticed Bill was...
I would love to add to this thread, but it's like asking, which is your favorite $100 bill? Bill's such a talented and insightful writer, there are just far...

The last few days "this ain't Hollywood; it never really gets that good," keeps going around and around in my head. The 40-below wind chill here must have...
