Live Apartment Fire weighs in today with an appreciation of Furman Bisher. For those who don’t know, Mr. Bisher writes about sports for the AJC, and is the former Sports Editor. The man is still producing at the age of 90.
Growing up in Atlanta meant reading his column in the Atlanta Journal. He managed to be somewhat controversial. Bear Bryant and Lewis Grizzard were not fans. In those days, the Constitution was a separate paper, with a sports editor named Jesse Outlar. PG called on Mr. Outlar one time, while selling little league raffle tickets.
Over the years, this reporter has read the fishwrapper less and less. Today, with the slow demise of dead tree journalism, the Cox monopoly paper struggles to survive. Mr. Bisher might even outlast this institution.
Furman Bisher ends his columns “selah”. Wikipedia says “Selah may be the most difficult word in the Hebrew Bible to translate.” The psalms were originally sung with musical instruments playing, and breaks in the narrative were noted with selah.
