Cover art for The Brothers Cup lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

i agree with dank22. I read in Scar Tissue that anthony and Hillel or Flea or maybe both (it's a while since I read the book) had matching leather jackets with cups sewn on th shoulders!!!

I just read this. It was Anthony and Flea. The song is about their love for each other and his fondness for him.

"It was our shoulder space That made the perfect place For the magic of the cup To style out with grace With a tight turn twist And a slight swerve swank The brothers cup kissed With a kick ass clank"

As you said, they put cups on their jackets as a symbol of their friendship.

"Don't be shy when you're sharin' your kisses The brothers cup kiss And we ain't sissies"

The brothers...
