Notable Careers Influenced By Weide
Josh Clayton-Felt, prior to creation of the successful band School of Fish, worked for Weide in 1987 as an informal office assistant during the production of: Swear To Tell the Truth. Shortly thereafter, Clayton-Felt reluctantly entered Brown University for a short-lived academic Term. Clayton-Felt later returned to Los Angeles after leaving Brown in haste to pursue his to-be successful artistic endeavors, following Weide's original advice. School of Fish later went on to be a highly successful American band in the late 1980s through the mid- 1990s prior to Clayton-Felt's death. Weide delivered the eulogy at Clayton-Felt's funeral, after his death from testicular cancer in early 2000.

“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,

“So much of the trouble is because I am a woman. To me it seems a very terrible thing to be a woman. There is one crown which perhaps is worth it all—a great love, a quiet home, and children. We all know that is all that is worthwhile, and yet we must peg away, showing off our wares on the market if we have money, or manufacturing careers for ourselves if we haven’t.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“The failures of the press have contributed immensely to the emergence of a talk-show nation, in which public discourse is reduced to ranting and raving and posturing. We now have a mainstream press whose news agenda is increasingly influenced by this netherworld.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
