Determinism and Music

Simon and Garfunkel's "Patterns" is a song that considers the possibility that our lives are controlled by structures and patterns that we cannot control.  Incompatiablism is the view that such a situation would be incompatible with moral responsibility.  In other words, if your life is controlled by factors beyond your own control, you cannot be morally responsible for anything.
