A "Petty Forever" sticker on the liquor store door

What it is

Trailer 1 ends with Jason and Lucia, faces covered by bandanas, pushing into Uncle Jack's Liquors with guns drawn. At about 1:17, as the door swings open, the glass is covered in the usual clutter: a hand-drawn face, a green starburst for ice, a sign refusing "cash stored in underwear", and a small rainbow-striped sticker that reads PETTY FOREVER. Stereogum pointed out that its colours match the cover of Full Moon Fever, the 1989 album that "Love Is a Long Road" comes from.

Why it matters

Tom Petty was born in Gainesville, Florida, so a Florida parody state paying tribute to him makes sense on its own. The link runs deeper for GTA fans: San Andreas licensed "Runnin' Down a Dream", also from Full Moon Fever, for its K-DST station back in 2004. Putting a Petty sticker on screen in the same trailer that uses his song is the kind of detail Rockstar builds for people who pause.
