1. It is a musical note-usually a flatted third or seventh-that gives a blues feeling to a song. The Blue Note is also the name of a popular nightclub in New Yorks Greenwich Village.

2. Probably Swiss sculptor Jean Tinguelys Homage to New York, which blew itself up at the Museum of Modern Art in 1960. The work was meant to satirize modern technological civilization. Constructed of an old piano and other junk, the piece failed to operate as planned and caused a fire, wimessed by a distinguished audience.

3. prima donna is simply the leading lady of an opera company. A diva, a goddess, is a legendary or highly celebrated leading lady.

4.No. The prize goes to the sculpture of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson that covers 1.33 acres on the face of Stone Mountain near Atlanta, Georgia. It was created between September 12, 1963, and March 3, 1972.
