Many songs deal with serious subject matter or his personal life, while others were written about famous people, or were silly, obnoxious punk rock or sweater rock style songs.

Darlington has modeled for fashion photographers, appeared in magazines and newspapers and also modeled at fashion shows. Darlington worked for Harpers Bazaar Magazine in New York City.
