"Cracked Rear View"

This is a lyric from John Hiatt's  "Bring The Family" lp, circa 1987. A song off of this lp entitled "Learning How To Love You", has this very phrase in it. So, inevitably, I saw the comparison to the Hootie and the Blowfish lp, "Cracked Rear View".

Has this ever been discussed before? Wondering if there was a connection or a copy right violation?

Maybe just a nod to Hiatt from Hootie.  Hiatt did something similar to The Stones and Buddy Holly in the lyrics for Slow Turning.

I had never noticed that either.  But, I just did a search and found that it has been mentioned in several articles that the title "Cracked Rear View", was taken from a line in the John Hiatt song "Learning How To Love You".  So, it is apparently a well known fact.
