Rebecca Pidgeon's "Disintegration Man" Is a True Who Is It Song

The last few years I've had the honor and pleasure of working with singer/songwriter Rebecca Pidgeon. She wrote a song with producer Larry Klein called "Disintegration Man," for her upcoming album Slingshot, and the second I heard it -- I told her it was what John Lennon used to call a "Who Is It song."

Rebecca recently met up with a couple of Kansas filmmakers when she played Farm Aid, and they were so inspired by the mystery of "Disintegration Man," -- and how it also summed up our current state of absolute confusion -- "how we have to stop looking for a 'superman' to solve our problems, and get on with it" as Rebecca says -- they made a wondrous video -- located below -- that says to heck with left and right Alpha-persuaders. So take your eyebars off -- click play for "Disintegration Man" and enjoy a song/video that 'Occupies' the topical zeitgeist like no other.

Who is it...who is it...who is it...

Is this the same Rebecca Pidgeon who her husband David Mamet doesn't even cast in movies anymore?

Cool agitprop. To my liberal ears it sounds like she's talking about Bush or Perry. However, she's married to a conservative crank, so I may be hearing what I want. Also cynism being our current politcal zeitgeist, this song could become an anthem of the times.

Great video Rebecca...I love how the bar over Elton John's eyes is psychedelic instead of black like everyone else. :)

Cool! The dude is def not Michael Jackson, could be the Spartan looking warriors. Is that a nod to Sparticus? Seriously, though, definitely thought provoking video.

Pretty cool article....I like the concept of a 'superman' to solve our problems in the video (and the song is great btw). Neat! : )
