Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a person who’s talking, so lend me your ear;
I preside over House legislation each year;
I can amplify music for others to hear;
And I promise a lecture when set to appear.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

    I am a ‘speaker’. Perhaps if you make up a really, really hard riddle, I can answer before Asher. He beat me by just over an hour this AM because I stayed up too late last night!

  3. Bill Says:

    SPEAKER is correct. Way to go, Asher!

    And at two minutes, that’s another Thursday Morning Riddle record.

    Welcome, Lorie! Actually, my blog clock is an hour off. Asher beat you by only eleven minutes. If you had been the first to solve, it still would have been impressively fast.

    Anagram of the riddle:

    Anagram:
    Philosophical Plutarch says (I err & use &):
    “In words are seen the state of mind & character & disposition of the speaker.”
    Moreover, in a wee epilogue:
    Oil & money may rule!
