Yesterday, journalists from all over the world were flown to Paris for a half-day private listening session of Bruce Springsteen's upcoming album (released March 5 and 6), followed by a press conference with the Boss himself, in efforts to drum up publicity in Europe. I've compiled several article/review/commentary links from various international press.
