That makes a lot more sense if this is 1974.

Christine hated these interludes. I have heard this--and Bob even said this himself in his first Q&A. I wonder if this might have been the basis for the minor spat backstage between them that ended with her saying "F*** You" and Bob quitting two weeks later. Mick mentions that spat in his book but says he can't recall the details since it was "nothing heavy."

As much as I loved Bob's speeches and storytelling before, after, and sometimes in the middle of songs, I can see why someone might not like them. It's an acquired taste. I adore moody spoken bits. Some rock-n-rollers in the audience might have just wanted party and get down to business.
