Factual error: Buddy Holly is seen singing 'Cryin', Waitin' Hoping' at the Winter Dance Party. He hadn't actually finished composing this song, never mind recording it as a finished piece of work when he went on his final tour. This song comes from his final recordings 'The Apartment Sessions' which he recorded in New York and was finally released after his death, complete with added backing music and vocals.

I loved this movie. It was one of the best movies I saw in the 1980's, but the only thing I could not understand was why Bob was looked at so negatively by Ritchie and his mother. He was the reason that Ritchie had a chance to be successful, because he got them out of that village in Northern California. If he hadn't, he would have been stuck there and would not have had the chance to do everything he did later.
