SINNING WITH SONG
 Nashville newcomer Michael Peterson's debut single, "Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie," is not really about sinning. Peterson's song, with "the four words you can't say on country radio," was written with a twist to proclaim undying love. That proclamation has become one of the highest-charting debut singles by a country artist in 1997. Critics say Peterson's debut record is as "radio-friendly" as payola and as intellectually satisfying as a good book. Check out this week's HotStar to learn more about this ex-football player who has a long road of success in front of him.
