Cream singer-bassist Jack Bruce on the inspiration for “White Room.” OC:…took place. :13
”That is about an actual room. There is a room in a town, Sheffield, in England, which that is about. It’s simply that. But it’s not really a story line as much as just a set of images, really, about a particular event that took place.”
