THE PUZZLE CORNER: MONKEE-ING AROUND

Although the official date is not until September 12, Davy Jones, Peter Tork, and Micky Dolenz are touring this summer in celebration of The Monkees 45th anniversary. Whether or not Michael Nesmith joins them at any point remains to be seen.
In any event, I thought this weekend we'd have some puzzles themed around a certain group I like. Ready?

COMMON BONDS
Each group has something in common. Do you know what it is?
01. {Daydream Believer, Ziggy Stardust}
02. {Mickey Braddock, The Monkees}
03. {Michael Blessing, Different Drum}

TRIVIA TIME
Each episode of the Monkees' first television season ended with a reprise of the opening theme. But viewers heard a different song at the end during the second season. What was the name of this tune and who wrote it?

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's peek into THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results from June 4's Puzzle Corner.

TRIVIA TIME
Based solely upon it's time in theaters, The Rocky Horror Picture Show from 1975 is the most successful movie of all time. It is still playing on weekends in select theaters on a regular basis, having started the midnight movie movement back in 1977.

REBUS
LOFOOLSVE? was shorthand for the song Why Do Fools Fall In Love? originally recorded by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.
