George Clooney will be in Armenia with the System Of A Down, also known by the acronym SOAD, and often shortened to System, on 23 and 24 April 2015, the starting date of the Armenian Genocide for 100 years ago. Grandmother of George Clooney, Rosemary Clooney, came to prominence in the early 1950s with the novelty hit Come On-a My House, a song performed on her album Come On-A My House, released on June 6, 1951. Without her George might not even be in Hollywood today. The song was written by Ross Bagdasarian and his cousin, the Armenian American Pulitzer Prize winning author William Saroyan, in the summer of 1939, while driving across New Mexico. The melody is based on an Armenian folk song. With a melody based on an Armenian folk song, the song touches upon traditional Armenian customs of inviting over relatives and friends and providing them with a generously overflowing table of fruits, nuts, seeds, and other foods. George Clooney is going to be in Armenia on 23 and 24 April 2015 with System of a Down group to support the recognition of the Armenian genocide. This is how karma works, you do good and get good back even if it is generations later. Clooney is fulfilling (knowingly or unknowingly) a wish of Saroyan who already did so much for his Armenian roots. https://youtube/watch?v=mriXncI96lw
