Following his friend's sudden passing in 1992, Mike Dirnt of Green Day would write the song "J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)" in remembrance of him. A song that not only served as a heartfelt ode to his late-friend, but would also have quite an impact outside of it. Whether it be its initial release on the soundtrack of "Angus", the opening bassline inspiring Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 to write "What's My Age Again", or how several listeners (including myself) see a bit of themselves in the song's emotional lyrics. So join me, as we dive into the story of this song, and see why so many regard it as an underrated gem in Green Day's discography.
