“Ragga explained that their esoteric music often painted pictures or told stories and this prompted the realization of a long held view about pictures in the head, a view that there is something magical about pictures in the head, something mystical even about how a word like ‘ship’ could conjure an image of a ship, masts and sails wind and sea and so forth in one’s head, though the word is either just a simple sound, or marks on a piece of paper.

“And there you have it, pictures in the head or rather pictures on the head, literally painted upon the pates of bald people.” - Storm Thorgerson
