And we close it out with Pops & Mavis and the family: Respec' Yo'sef!

Not a rarity, but good to hear regardless.
Let's get right to it.

There's a Foghead, probably GS, who just gave hell to Renee when she was doing 10@10 but praises AL to the skies even when she plays the same FF-heavy sets so despised during the Renee tenure. I find that interesting.

I'm not gonna defend the song selection (I never need to hear "Joy to the World" again, or "Imagine" for that matter) but as others have said, it's the presentation -- clips, segues -- that matters. AL cares how it sounds, even if she's playing whatever songs she's told to play.

The fact that one has a real FB interaction whereas the other didn't speaks volumes.

Both true statements. I just find it interesting that the FF-laden sets themselves, not just the presentation or personality behind them, are praised as stellar or phenomenal. Also the extreme contrast in rhetoric from this particular poster.

Best advice I ever received at work dealt with a personality like that:

"Consider the source".
