Two of that area’s most prominent natives shared the Madison Square Garden spotlight Thursday when Billy Joel welcomed Jerry Seinfeld to the stage during the 100th concert of his monthly residency at the iconic venue. “I am from Long Island, like Billy is from Long Island,” Seinfeld told the crowd of the suburban New York upbringing shared by the comedian and Piano Man. “He captured how we all feel living in this particular part of the world.
