A few "popular" songs have deep philosophical underpinnings, though one might not notice it upon first hearing the lyrics. The refrain of an Indigo Girls song, for instance, recently caught my ear as it commented on one of my favorite themes, the importance of ambiguity in life:

    Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
    The closer I am to fine ...
