M WARD talks to the Austin American-Statesman abot childhood, touring, and the usefulness of bad songs.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE:  Funny People takes the top slot with 23.4 million -- but that's underperforming for both Adam Sandler and director Judd Apatow (one of a string of underperforming Universal pics), leading to an underperforming weekend overall.  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince drops 40 percent with 17.7 million; it is now slightly ahead of Order of the Phoenix at the same point of its run. G-Force takes third with 17 million, but that 46 percent drop is a bit steep for a 3-D family film.  The Ugly Truth dropped 53 percent (even worse for a rom-com) to fourth with 13 million. Aliens in the Attic rounds out the Top Five with a 7.8 million debut -- given the huge number of screens, this one seems unlikely to have legs.
