Burning Lights/I Hired a Contract Killer easter egg?

I would not bet my life on it (and I am not a "forensics document examiner"), but the handwriting on the chalkboard looks like Joe's to me. Less flair than what he would do with a pen, but if the bar is advertising Desmond Dekker night, it seems like a Joe-thing to do (especially with Elvis over his shoulder).

I think you're right - good spot. The star motif matches lots of Joe's doodles and sketches too.
Punk rock warlord, soundtrack composer, marathon runner - and movie set dresser. Was there no end to the man's talents?

I agree too, I think it's Joe's handwriting. For some reason, the "B" in "REMEMBER" looks particularly Joe-ish to me. But Joe also did another kind of little star doodle with some of his sigs that I love, which was more of a sad little "Peanuts"/Charlie Brown star, without the cross-lines - it had crooked little points and was adorable.
