DARREN hails from many a Northern European folk. In Gaelic it means Oak Tree. In Old English, darling one. In French, from Arielle. Terribly unpopular at the beginning of the Baby Boom, the Swingin’ ’60s brought it back.
Perhaps a nod to a British showman, “DARREN CHRISTMAS DAY” by Canadians In Space intones the name as a celebratory chant. Huh.
Nightheart entitles their what-to-do Xmas list “Darren“, possibly because he’s the naughtiest druggie biker ever was. He’s the opposite of nice. Don’t. Just don’t. Bluegrass pop.
