So what kind of reference are we dealing with here? It's not just some line a hack writer threw in to be funny. There's a specific connection between (one of) Canada's favorite sons and (one of) America's favorite touring bands. You see, Reynolds is a huge DMB fan. How huge? Well, do you have a DMB tattoo? Ryan Reynolds does. Suffice it to say he's pretty inked up. In the 2015 movie Mississippi Grind, one scene captures the full extent of what the deal is with Reynolds' right leg. Among the beguilingly vast collection of tats are two "coffee stains" (references to the cover art for the DMB album Before These Crowded Streets) and a "Firedancer" (a DMB symbol akin to the famous Grateful Dead "Deadhead") right next to the coffee stains.
Look, if you get a DMB tat, you're a big fan — that's all there is to it. And there's freaking website dedicated to those tattoos, complete with all the people who didn't get the Deadpool role yet have coffee ring tattoos that they have to explain to 90 percent of the people they meet. "Well, yeah, I like coffee, but it's for DMB. You know, Dave Matthews Band ... Yeah, but I don't really like that song, you see, I'm a true fan so I only like songs you've never heard of." (Probably a real conversation.)
