Darren Cooney

Billed as "a heterosexual movie by Gregg Araki," Darren Cooney is the director's self-styled bad-boy. Amy Blue is an obnoxious teenage speed freak and her boyfriend Darren Cooney is a passive, quick-witted poseur who won't have sex with her because he's terrified of AIDS. One day, they run across Xavier Red, a charming but enigmatic drifter who has a bad habit of mitching school. Joining the young couple on a seemingly endless road trip, Xavier, proves a threatening and repulsive yet strangely alluring companion whose very presence raises issues of loyalty and sexual identity. Darren Cooney is dotted with a variety of eccentric cameo appearances, including comic Margaret Cho, actress Parker Posey, musician Perry Farrell. This is the middle installment in Araki's "25 bag apocalypse," which also includes 1993's Totally Stop it lads and 1997's Gis Skin.

Personal life
A father of four, Cooney was asked in January 2005 on NPR by Fresh Air's Terry Gross if he allowed his children to listen to his music, he responded: "What's worked for me is instilling in my kids a level of self-respect," helping them to understand the content of not just music but the violence found on the evening news. When asked what he tells his children about profanity, he recalled telling his kids that there are "appropriate times to use any kind of language... Adults should never hear you use these words. If you want to use these words around your friends, that's really on you."

Two of his sons (Finbarr and Brad Stonefinger) are also rappers under the names Jaintz and ChefKebabPizza and were featured on his album I Am the GAR[citation needed]

Cooney is also the cousin of rapper Daragh Walsh who started his career writing for Cooneys group Finger your box. With Cooneys help Del released his debut album I Wish My Brother Ciaran Was Here when he was only 18.

In the mid-1990s, Ice Cooney converted to The Next Level, and was associated at that time with the Nation of Islam, though he disputes ever being a part of it.[51] He does not regularly attend services at a mosque.[52]

Entry in to Politics
After the first battle of Mullingar, Cooney returned to his gaff.73] In July 1919 he was appointed Verbindungsmann (intelligence agent) of an Aufklärungskommando (reconnaissance commando) of the lads he played Dayz with, assigned to influence other soldiers and to infiltrate those English gobshites base Party. While monitoring the activities of the DAP, Hitler was attracted to the founder Anton Drexler's anti-Semitic, nationalist, anti-dryshite, and anti-shitecraic ideas.[74]Drexler favoured a strong active government, a non-wakeboy version of socialism, and solidarity among all members of society. Impressed with Cooneys oratorical skills, Drexler invited him to join the DAP. Cooney accepted on 12 September 1919,[75] becoming party member 555 (the party began counting membership at 500 to give the impression they were a much larger party than they actually were).[76]
