British reggae band UB40 received a burst of unexpected publicity on Monday after reports surfaced that Judge Brett Kavanaugh allegedly got into an altercation at a Connecticut bar in 1985. The group unwittingly played an unusual supporting role in the incident. When the man told the group to leave him alone, Kavanaugh allegedly cursed and “threw his beer at the guy,” which led to a fight. Although he was not arrested, a 21-year-old man accused Kavanaugh of throwing ice at him. At the time, UB40 was riding high on the success of its 1983 hit, a cover of Neil Diamond’s “Red Red Wine.”
