"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?

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.

By the way, the MOFI "Bring The Family" is one "kick ass sounding record"!

Yes indeed Slaw. Musically too, with one of my very favorite guitar breaks of all time, Ry Cooder's on "Lipstick Sunset".
