Kurt Loder apologizes to Jewel over his condescending 1998 MTV interview

Yahoo!

In a recent interview with Stereogum, Jewel called Loder a "d*ck" for the 1998 interview discussing her new book of poetry, saying: "What an a** to show himself like that. It was almost that thing where you’d feel sorry for somebody, it’s like, 'Wow, here’s a full grown man who does news for children, on a children’s network, for teenagers.' Yeah. You’re bitter." In a statement to Yahoo Entertainment, Loder responded: "That MTV interview I did with Jewel was a sh*tty thing to do to anyone, and I've been ashamed of having done it ever since. If I could go back in time I'd smack me in the head. However, I'm not a college graduate...."
