Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I te 12 o Hānuere 2009, ka puta te pukaemi ki te ipurangi. I te 19 o Hanuere, i whakaritea e NPR.org he rerenga koreutu mo te wiki, i mua i te tukunga. I tīmata hoki te paetukutuku a Sony BMG o Ireland ki te tuku i te reira. He whakatairanga nui, āta whakaritea hoki mō Springsteen me te pukaemi i whakatakotoria, tae atu ki ngā whakaaturanga i te Golden Globe Awards, te whakatūnga perehitini o Barack Obama
, he pukaemi nui hou, te whakaaturanga haurua o te Super Bowl XLIII me te putanga e tatari ana ki te 81 Academy Awards. Ko te whakamutunga o ēnei i hē, i te mea i kīia e "Rolling Stone" he "korero ohorere", "Kua whakahawea te Wrestler" e te Academy, ā, kāore i whiwhi tohu. Heoi anō, nā te nui o te mahi i mea ai a Springsteen, "Ko tēnei pea te marama tino nui o taku oranga".
