Fender Lawyer Rocks On

As chief legal officer for Fender Musical Instruments, Mark Van Vleet has the perk of interacting with Fender's roster of artists. He negotiated an exclusive deal for the company to manufacture and distribute products inspired by Eddie Van Halen, a Van Vleet hero. The lawyer told the guitarist they shared Dutch ancestry, and Van Vleet sat enthralled as Van Halen spoke fluent Dutch for the next 20 minutes. The two shared a laugh when the lawyer sheepishly admitted that he didn't understand a word of it.
