You know I'm crazy about all things Bruce, so I'm digging this folksy ode to the martial arts movie icon, "Bruce Lee Blues" by singer/songwriter Kevin So. Originally titled "Long Forgotten Question," the song is off Kevin's 2009 solo acoustic album Best Food Forward. He recently shot this video in Seattle, at what looks like Bruce Lee's gravesite:
Here are the lyrics, for your reference:
LONG FORGOTTEN QUESTION (Kevin So)For more information on Kevin So and his music, head over to his website.
How did Bruce Lee die ? No one really knows
How did Bruce Lee die ? No one really knows
It's a long forgotten question with no answers, people guessing
No evidence or facts
No one really knows
I know how he died. My friend told me so
I know how he died. My friend told me so
He was eating watermelon. Someone came up from behind him
And stabbed him in the back
My friend told me so
I know how he died. An actress poisoned him
I know how he died. An actress poisoned him
He was working on a movie when she slipped it in his coffee
He went to take a nap
And never woke again
This is how he died. This is what I heard
This is how he died. This is what I heard
All that pressure being famous. All that fighting against racists.
He had a heart attack
This is what I heard
Is he still alive somewhere laying low ?
Is he still alive somewhere laying low ?
I hear he's living near Grand Junction six miles east of Thunder Mountain
In a little wooden shack
Somewhere laying low
How did Bruce Lee die ? No one really knows
