David Crosby now lives an idyllic American life. This is not taken for granted by a former junkie who once had sores covering parts of his body and pondered starting a new life in a non-extraditable foreign country. A neighbor is exercising a horse in the dying winter light when Crosby meets me in the driveway of his Santa Ynez Valley home in California. There's a gaggle of happy dogs, the distinct whiff of weed and a giant smile tilting Crosby's trademark walrus mustache upward. He looks like Yosemite Sam, as Joni Mitchell once described him, but better-adjusted.
...
In the end it wasn't Townshend, whom he'd never met, or rehab that saved him. It was prison. He came out clean. Remarkably, his fellow addict and now wife Jan – who was once legally ordered not to see Crosby for five years because they were such a corrosive influence on each other – also survived. Now, she's a sweet woman who anticipates the precise moment when my audio recorder will need new AAA batteries.
"I don't know why I'm alive and Jimi isn't and Janis isn't and Mama Cass isn't and all my other friends," says Crosby. "I have no idea why me, but I got lucky."

I'm thinking tularetom may be right.
