“HI. I’M JOHNNY CASH.” An iconic salutation, and a perfect way to introduce yourself, especially if you are indeed Johnny Cash. But times have changed. Pop stars now call themselves things like H.E.R., 6LACK, and Lil Nas X. How do they introduce themselves in a hurry? Dunno.
Likewise, in gardening, the days of ‘Raydon’s ‘Raydon’s Favorite’) are gone. Mostly, this a good thing.
