Ronnie's also more of a friend of Womack's than any of the rest of the Stones. As well as working together on Dirty Work, they did some recording together afterwards.
Womack told a great story in an interview in one of the first ever issues of Q magazine back in the late 80's about the DW sessions in New York. Basically, Mick had called him up to help out, whining about how the rest of the band were fucking useless and that they couldnt stand the sight of each other. Womack showed up to record 'Harlem Shuffle', harmony temporarily prevailed within the band as a result and they were basically telling him what a great guy he was and how they couldnt possibly repay him, etc. At the end of the night, he asked for a driver to take him home, but the Stones told him he'd have to make his own way back!
Absolutely incensed at being treated in such a disrespectful manner, he decided to walk instead and had got about 3 blocks when he was confronted at knifepoint by a mugger. He was so pissed off he taunted his assailant to try his luck, because, as he told him, "I'm about ready to die now, motherfucker" and the mugger, convinced he was dealing with a madman, turned and fled!
