Don't know if this is an actual answer. But some pretty good interpretations of the song.
And pretty cool to read back on the forum 10 years ago.

I don't know where I read this, but apparently at some show Jim explained that What a Wonderful Man is very literal and its about his dad

I could have sworn I remembered hearing that too. That's how I actually got the forum thread, cause I was looking for where I heard that.

I always thought JFK or Jesus. I would love to think it was his father. Since Jim is a mythical character, being about his father brings it all down to earth.
