My reference was to the great recording "The Point" narrated  
and sung by Harry Nilsson.  In part of the story Oblio meets up  
with the Rock Man who gives Oblio some words of wisdom.

"    One of the first things Oblio and Arrow noticed about the
Pointless Forest was that all the leaves on all the trees had
points, and all the trees had points. In fact, even the
branches of all the trees pointed in different directions,
which seemed a little strange for a pointless forest. [.] Oblio
told the Rock Man that they were banished and asked him whether
or not this was the Pointless Forest.

"    The Rock Man said, "Say, babe, there ain't nothing
pointless about this gig. The thing is you see what you want to
see and you hear what you want to hear. You dig? Did you ever
see Paris?"

"    "No."

"    "Did you ever see New Delhi?"

"    "No."

"   "Well, that's it. You see what you want to see and you hear
what you want to hear."

"    -Nilsson, The Point (1971)
