J.A.R. is the initials for Mike's friend, Jason Andrew Relva, who died. Jason Andrew Relva was actually friends with the entire band not just Mike. Mike wrote the lyrics and Green Day wrote the music together. greendayfan02 is right. Green Day can definately make music that is moving and symbolic, but doesn't make it all depressing. Great song.
