"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 love so many of John Hiatt's lyrics.

This one IMO captures modern cynicism with particular wit and insight:

Still you argue for your options,
and you angle for your case,
like you wouldn't know a burning bush,
if it blew up in your face.

Caught him live with just him and Lyle in Charleston..two of the very best IMO...
Slow Turning is a true Masterpiece...
I actually consider the Slow Turning album superior over-all to Bring The Family. But they're both fantastic!
