But since his death in a car crash in 1981 at age 38, Chapin's legacy has only grown beyond his emotional songs like "Cat's in the Cradle" and "Taxi," to include the charities he founded to address food insecurity. Correspondent David Pogue talks with members of Chapin's family, who discuss his impact – as a father, a fundraiser and philanthropist, and an example of how to live life, with a simple credo: "When in doubt, do something."

Awkward moment Elon Musk dodges question about Donald Trump during live interview
Elon Musk dodges questions on Donald Trump 's policies during a live interview, asking if they can 'stick to spaceships'. The Tesla CEO was interviewed at SpaceX 's headquarters outside of Brownsville, Texas on May 29, with the full sit-down being released on Sunday (1 June). CBS' David Pogue asked Mr Musk if the tariffs would affect his various businesses, to which he nonchalantly replied: 'Tariffs always affect things a little bit'. When asked on his thoughts on the president's international student crackdown, the billionaire said: 'I think we want to stick to the subject of the day which is spaceships, as opposed to presidential policies.' Mr Pogue apologised, saying he thought nothing was off the table, to which Mr Musk replied 'no'.

Elon Musk tries to stick to spaceships
Elon Musk's interview with CBS Sunday Morning seemed to get off to a bumpy start, as reporter David Pogue asked the SpaceX CEO about his thoughts on President Donald Trump's policies, including growing restrictions on international students. 'I think we want to stick to the subject of the day, which is, like, spaceships, as opposed to, you know, presidential policy,' Musk said. Pogue looked surprised, replying, 'Oh, okay, I was told, 'Anything's good.'' 'No,' Musk said, while looking into the distance. 'Well … no.' He did, however, comment on the controversy around his Department of Government Efficiency, which has been making aggressive cuts across federal agencies, and which Musk complained had become 'the whipping boy for everything.' 'If there was some cut, real or imagined, everyone would blame DOGE,' he said. Musk also suggested that he's in 'a little stuck in a bind' when it comes to the Trump administration, where 'I don't want to speak out against the administration, but I also don't want to take responsibility for everything the administration's doing.'

Berkeley, CA | REGISTER NOW Pogue's interview was conducted before SpaceX's Starship test flight on Tuesday, which saw the ship successfully launch but lose control on reentry. Asked whether there's anything tying together his various companies — in addition to SpaceX, there's Tesla (which faces ongoing anti-Musk protests), xAI and X (formerly Twitter), Neuralink, and The Boring Company — Musk replied, 'I guess you could think of the businesses as things that improve the probable trajectory of civilization.' At the time, Musk was supposedly pulling back from his government work but said he would remain involved for a 'day or two' per week. He told Pogue, 'DOGE is going to continue, just as a way of life. And I will have some participation in that, but as I've said publicly, my focus has to be on the companies at this point.' Pogue noted that after their conversation, an interview clip of Musk's comments criticizing the Trump-backed budget bill drove a news cycle of their own — and soon after, Musk said he was ending his time as a special government employee. Trump, however, subsequently said Musk is 'not really leaving.'
