Foreshadowing in the opening scene

Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but in the opening scene Eddie is talking about the song The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia and he was debating as to who shot Andy (if I have this wrong feel free to correct me as I am not a fan of this song, I find it annoying and I’m sure I am going against popular opinion). Well in the final scene it’s not entirely clear who shot Eddie (it really was White) but as it turns out people started debating who shot Eddie in the film just like how Eddie was debating who shot Andy.

It's clear as day that Mr. White shoots Eddie. Only three people had guns, White, Eddie and Joe. Joe didn't shot his son. Watch in slow motion if you need to. You will see Joe shoot Mr. Orange, immediately after which White shoots Joe. White then turns and shoots Eddie as Eddie shoots him.

And while we're here... goddamn what a perfect, brilliant film Reservoir Dogs is. It was overshadowed by the magnificence of Pulp Fiction, but goddamn is it a great movie.
