Has it been four years already since Brian’s daughter left home? It’s OK – she went to college and got married (not in that order). Here’s a musical look back with some “leaving” music – from Queen, the Beatles, Jesse Malin, Franz Ferdinand, America, R.E.M., Keane, Novi Split, the Editors and more. Plus music from Grandaddy, the Flaming Lips, Teenage Fanclub and Nada Surf.
