OK - I'm not much of a "forums" person, and I've tried to Google it, to no avail. So I turn to those of you who know the band better - or, at least, have known them longer... maybe you can help answer this for me:
Does anyone know about whom/what Jim James wrote "What A Wonderful Man?" Is there an article or anything from around when Z came out where he may have been asked and answered?
Thanks.
this guy maybe (total wild guess):

That is one hell of a fucking jam session!
It's about a friend of Jim's.
Hmmm, I would have guessed it's about Jesus or God.

Not again, please. I need to book mark the interview, but there are at least two interviews in which Jim says he wrote the song for his friend and ex-bandmate Tim Cushing after he committed suicide. He said he wanted to write a song that would have made Tim smile or something along those lines. I promise, it's not about Jesus!
What's the very last line of the song?
a beast and succubus.
Thanks! 8-)

I remember reading this as well. But I was listening to the song the other day and I was thinking this is a great song for a son to sing about his father. Just some of they lyrics made me think of that.
