"Francophile namesakes" and Dave Gorman
Comedian Dave Gorman, who makes 'documentary comedy' has worked with his name as a subject for a project. in 'Are you Dave Gorman?' he followed a chain of people named Dave Gorman, beginning with a Scottish football manager. The phrase "francophile namesakes", which Gorman had on his website, was a Googlewhack for a period, and when this was pointed out to him, Gorman developed another project trying to follow up on other Googlewhacks. These projects from the early 2000s would be more difficult and also messier in the current state of the internet. This memory of Dave Gorman is part of the material Shelley Hodgson and I are working with in our radio show for Soundart Radio's First Spark Festival 2025.
