02 br
01 b 00 Somebody 02 b 00 reputation rests on the competing memory of her singular, groundbreaking film and her eccentric persona as wildly dressed visionary, agitator, organizer and groupie. 02 br

00 Could it means 'controversial memories' something near to 'mix feelings'? The memory of her film against the other things (visionary, agitator, and so on). Sorry, it's hard for me tell what I undestand in my nonnative english language. 02 br
