"Nowhere Boy" Update.

So, it turns out that "Nowhere Boy", the John Lennon biopic, does indeed include some John Lennon music. In fact, here is an entire list of the music featured in the movie, and I've gotta say, it's a pretty slammin' list. I'm excited.

The song "Hello Little Girl", the first song co-written by Lennon and McCartney makes an appearance in the film, sung by Sam Bell, who plays George Harrison. McCartney and Harrison's "In Spite of All Danger" also makes a play. Almost inevitably included, as we could see in the trailer, is Lennon's song "Mother" from the album 'John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band'.
