• Brett Kavanaugh was reportedly involved in a bar fight during his junior year at Yale University.
• The fight happened after a UB40 concert.
• One of Kavanaugh's former friends said that his group mistook a bar patron for a member of the band.
• The internet went wild and UB40 began trending again.

Kanye West had to be Perrier-bottle-green with envy Monday night, if he was studying Twitter and seeing that the British pop-reggae band UB40 had found the most effortless path possible to becoming a trending topic on social media — by inadvertently triggering a bar fight more than 30 years ago.
