50/50 Music Burn: John Lennon - Death of a Beatle (Full Documentary)
This will be the third in a series of random posts about music. In each post, I'll burn STEEM and donate it to this community in a 50/50 split (50% to @null and 50% to @hive-180051). I'll call it the 50/50 Music Burn. Sometimes, it might just be a random song; other times, it might be a story about music or a concert. Today, we'll take a look at the documentary "Death of a Beatle," which originally aired on CNN on December 8, 2015, the 35th anniversary of Beatles star John Lennon's murder.
This documentary, shot in New York and Liverpool, showcases the days before Lennon's tragic death. It also includes a chilly confession from Mark David Chapman and the final interview with Lennon.
To better tell John Lennon's story, I've also included another documentary below that concentrates mainly on the singer's life.
44 years have passed since Chapman senselessly gunned down Lennon...his fans still mourn his loss to this day. Below is a video from a tribute held in New York just last week.
Lennon's voice has lived on, but his death still marks one of the darkest days in the history of music. While his vision has faded over time, his message is still as clear as the day he released the song below. Just imagine...

Sucks that life is the way it is, and the madness of one leads to the sadness of many. Truly an inspiration to see his fans (young and old) still gathering on the anniversary.
Thank you for the upvote!

This is my first time learning about the story of John Lennon
He’s got loyal fans
Nice one!
Lennon was a pop culture icon in the UK and the United States. My mom was literally in love with Paul McCartney.
Oh wow
That’s good to know

Controversial opinion: "I don't understand The Beatles' popularity".
I like some of Paul's stuff and some of their later stuff, but I'm not a huge fan either. My mom, on the other hand...

You're much quieter on here than when you first joined... I was too busy to interact with you properly then and you've quietened down since I've perked up again. Did you just do a month as one of the steemcurators?

Yeah, I haven't been on much lately, and when I have, I haven't commented much. I actually spent two months as one of the SC0x's. I meant to make a post about the experience, and I still might. I just haven't had the time.

How was it 2 months in a row? It's easy if you can follow someone isn't it.
A great weekend/Christmas amd what's left of 2024

I was ready for a break by the end of month two. I think the task may be a bit too much for two-man teams for multiple months. Following works from my account but when I was logged into one of the curator's accounts, I never followed anyone.
It makes a difference if you follow people or at least know some names which you can check (post - replies - comments - replies - comments.).
If you read/post yourself you might see interesting links/names which I save (also to vote on later or check on).
Next I start the checking comment - replies and look for new names. I also search for hashtags (mainly use them) which makes it easier to find something interesting/creative.
I must say with two works faster than with three. No fights, extra checks, hours wasted chatting explaining and I have a better partner now. If not it's stress stress and stress and all you can do is trying to correct what a team member did.
A good Sunday

Sounds like you've done the same thing I did; which was to find creative ways around the site not being very user-friendly. I also found going to a user's profile and clicking on "Friends Feed" is also helpful in finding new people.
For us, it was more about being burnt out and running short on time. Having my best friend as my teammate made things easier, I'm sure. We were able to sync up styles somewhat and do things with a "live" document online to keep track of where we were. Made it simple...but we struggled the first couple of days until we worked out a routine/system. I'd be open to doing it again.
However, it doesn't look like they've been using two-person teams anymore in the last few months. I seem to remember reading them say they'd rather use three-person teams.
