Saying she only joined because she was married to John is a real insult.

I know what you mean. And agree. But I think the writer was simply trying to say had she not been married to John and living with the rest of them, none of them, including her, would have thought about her joining the band. She was simply there while they rehearsed. They needed to "fill out the sound" (as stated in several older articles). Had she not been with them, had she been an unmarried woman with, say, Chicken Shack, they wouldn't have thought about asking her to join them. It was really just fate, a casual decision, as casual as the introductions of Welch and then Buckingham-Nicks into the band.
