Suggest that elthamlass (or anybody else alleging inaccuracies) please specify at least some examples that you're referring to.

I enjoyed the quiz; got 9/10 (didn't know Frank Lymon's backup group).

UncleO, FredS does know what he's talking about. Each question has 4 possible answers, of which 3 are wrong, 1 is right. So, 3/4 of them are wrong.

I only missed 2. Got the loretta lynn one right, but didn't know she had 4 kids by 17. And Walk The LIne (although I absolutely love Reese and think she did a phenomenal job) was a waste of time, as the missed some of the major scenes of what really happened in Johnny and Jessie's relationship! Great job on this quiz though
