(CNN) Famed Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh threw his voice behind Democratic House candidate Tammy Duckworth in an Illinois Congressional race on Tuesday.
And who is Duckworth's opponent? Joe Walsh.
But not the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Joe Walsh.

She's running against Rep. Joe Walsh, whose main claim to fame here at DU is for being a 'deadbeat Dad,' having been dragged to court for child-support payments in arrears. And for being, generally, a right-wing, tea-partying, obnoxious repiglickan asshole.

"I'm the real Joe Walsh and I'm proud to back a real American success story Tammy Duckworth," Walsh said in a statement. "Tammy's story, her service to our nation and her continued commitment to working families (like the one I come from!) have convinced me that she's the right choice for Congress."
The rocker will perform at a concert for Duckworth in July.
