Excerpt/passage used as inspiration:
The phrase "It never rains in California" comes from Albert Hammond’s and Mike Hazlewood's 1972 song rather than traditional literature. However, variations appear in modern fiction, essays, and journalism, often referencing the myth of endless sunshine and the irony of struggle beneath California’s dream (as in the song’s lyrics: “It pours, man, it pours.”). Writers frequently use it to discuss droughts, climate, or the illusion of easy living in the Golden State.
